General • Change of result when using brackets in a bookmark

I have a bookmark which searches for:

csf OR cerebrospinal

and which has a macro called CSF defined. I use the bookmark by keying CSF: in the search bar.

When I change the search field in this bookmark to make it search for:

(csf OR cerebrospinal)

then I find this results in very few hits when I key in the macro CSF:

-----------

Surely those two searches are logically equivalent and should give the same result? Can anyone explain why the two results are so different?
