Subject: [sup-talk] Search syntax: "from:[email-masked]" doesn't work?

The wiki lists a few search examples:
http://sup.rubyforge.org/wiki/wiki.pl?SearchingMail

But, most wildcard searches (e.g. "from:@gmail.com") don't seem to work
for me. I'm running the next branch.

Is the information in the wiki outdated?

How would I search for all mails from a specific domain?

Regards,

Strange. from:[email-masked] gives me no results. Although it should match
zillions of mails in my mailbox.

The dot wildchard doesn't work as well:

    from:[email-masked]  returns a dozen hits
    from:[email-masked]	    returns zero
    from:@lanl.gov	    returns zero
    from:[email-masked]  returns zero
    from:jo?[email-masked]  returns zero

I'm a bit puzzled. 

This is with a current next checkout, on a Debian etch with ruby 1.8.7
and Xapian 1.0.20 (from backports.org).
