fix(search): wrap group_ids OR clause in parentheses for BM25 queries

Without parentheses around the OR clause, Lucene operator precedence
causes AND to bind tighter than OR, so only the last group_id is
effectively filtered when multiple group_ids are provided.

Before: group_id:"g1" OR group_id:"g2" AND (query)
 → parsed as: g1 OR (g2 AND query)

After: (group_id:"g1" OR group_id:"g2") AND (query)
 → correctly filters by all group_ids

Fixes #1249
