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:johnbent@lanl.gov  returns a dozen hits
    from:*@lanl.gov	    returns zero
    from:@lanl.gov	    returns zero
    from:jo.nbent@lanl.gov  returns zero
    from:jo?nbent@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).
