What is "It"?

I'm sorry, I lost you. Let's try and sync...
Prior to this patch:
"msgid" = works
" msgid " = fails
" msgid" = fails
"msgid " = fails
<msgid>" = fails
<msgid" = fails
"msgid>" = fails
" msgid>" = fails
etc'
With this patch -- they should all work.
If there's a search query that currently works and is broken by this
patch, can you give an example?
If you simply mean that searching for "m sgid" is broken, yes it
currently is, and no the patch doesn't fix that.

"Now" meaning before applying this patch?

There is no API change. afaict nothing that currently works and uses
this endpoint should be affected. The only effect should be that
queries that now fail but should succeed, succeed.
I'm happy to address any concerns you have, but I don't understand what
precisely you want done.
