[sup-talk] Search syntax: "from:*@gmail.com" doesn't work?

[Gregor Hoffleit]

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Is the information in the wiki outdated?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,
Gregor

from:*@gmail.com works for me. Note the '*' wildcard character.

Strange. from:*@gmail.com gives me no results. Although it should match
zillions of mails in my mailbox.

The dot wildchard doesn't work as well:

from:john...@lanl.gov returns a dozen hits
from:*@lanl.gov returns zero
from:@lanl.gov returns zero
from:jo.n...@lanl.gov returns zero
from:jo?nb...@lanl.gov 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).
