The new gnus-search-indexed-parse-output doesn't properly quote group
names before using them as regexes meaning a group name containing
meta-characters (other than . or \ because of the current replacement)
won't be properly matched in the search results later.

I have attached a diff that fixes this by first quoting the group name
before performing the replacement; which is now constructed with RX
to save \\ soup.

Thanks,
Jai
