So what about:

searchTerm ::= term | '(' searchTerm boolean term ')'


(BTW, minor minor nits:
1)
    boolean       ::= booleanTokesn [modifierList]
    booleanTokens ::= 'and' | 'or' | 'not' | 'prox'
is slightly more consistent.

2)
'<>' is omitted from the list of tokens.

3)
namedComparator is referenced as namedComparitor
