   @Gargron @andypiper I am again not showing up in search consistently, when showing up at all. Even “from: shoq” produces erratic results. Is this a known issue?
   Also, please note that the search examples don’t make it clear whether “from: user” should include space after the colon or not. Both produce results, but very different results. With the other failures considered, it’s hard to say which is correct.

     @Gargron @andypiper Can you auto-trim it out? I am sure millions add the space, reflexively. Even without it, my search is sparse. Shouldn’t the updating be happening in near real time? Is there some other issue? Spitballing: maybe posts via API are being dropped? (I use our Chrome extension)

     @shoq @andypiper It's the same syntax rule as on Google, Discord, Reddit, and Twitter. You can't put a space there, how could we possibly know if you want to search for the words "from shoq" or filter only by posts from shoq?

     @Gargron @andypiper Wouldn’t search words “from shoq” have no colon at all?” I don’t recall all the other syntaxes, but not contesting it. Just tried Twitter. It too produces results for both, but more for no space (user wouldn’t know easily that its wrong). But whichever it is, I still feel it should be more explicit because visually it’s not clear in the tip. It sure “looks” like a space after the colon on the tip to me.
