NOTES*
The ? question mark character makes the preceeding character or contents of the parenthesis ( ) optional. It can be there, or not be there. So for example:
"You (Feeling)?Lonely" will find "You Lonely" or You FeelingLonely". Since there would usually be another space between "Feeling" and "Lonely" we add either a space character and question mark " ?", or a period  and a question mark ".?" which is easier to see and will find a space (or one of anything else) as well. The final expression looks like this:
"YOU (FEELING)?.?LONELY"
