The word “brackets” means different things to different people:

Let’s check Google - see if Google has any concise Insights as to the meaning of the word:

Hmmm…

Lala hosts the most online music.
Apple recently bought Lala.
Google uses Apple’s Lala when you search for a song on Google.
It works fabulously well.  If you haven’t already, try it for your favorite song.
If you don’t have a favorite song, just ask Google for one.
Oh wait…
I just tried that.
My Google search query was “best song”
I did [...]
