Cannot search for net negative votes
Searching for `votes:-8` does not give results with net votes -8. Instead it returns all posts, regardless of votes. Upvotes and downvotes break in exactly the same way for negative numbers, but for those I wouldn't expect to be able to use negative numbers, as there can never be a negative number of upvotes or downvotes. So I regard the behaviour for votes as a significant bug, and the behaviour for upvotes and downvotes as a very minor bug, although ideally they would give zero results for a negative number.
