[Dictionarysearch] Using the extension to look up OIDs in the OID repository

[Olivier Dubuisson]

Hi,

I am using the DictionarySearch extension to look up OIDs in the OID 
repository at http://oid.elibel.tm.fr as described at
http://asn1.elibel.tm.fr/oid/faq.htm#lookup

There are two notations for OIDs:
1. the dot notation: When I highlight something like 1.3.6.1, 
right-click and select "Search OID for...", it works;
2. the ASN.1 notation: When I highlight something like {iso 
identified-organization dod(6) internet(1)}, right-click and select 
"Search OID for...", I see that the closing parentheses have been 
removed from the parameter, so it doesn't work, for the OID syntax is 
wrong. What is the reason to ignore closing parens? Can this be mended?
