":execute" runs its argument as an ex-command (the colon is unnecessary,
but, as you can see by starting a command-line with two or more colons,
it does no harm). In this case your search is run as a naked range,
which puts the cursor at the start of the line so found. See ":help
:range". Similarly, ":225" or ":exe 225" would put the cursor at the
start of the 225th line.
You might try
normal ?[\|(\|{
nohls
instead.

Tony.
