500 error page for user:me when not signed in
When searching, a user can be specified by including `user:X` in the search term, where `X` is the user id of the relevant user. You can also search for your own posts by specifying `user:me`.

If you share a link to search results based on `user:me` then the recipient of the link will see results for their own user, provided they are signed in. However, if they are not signed in they will see a 500 error page instead.

Could this 500 error page be replaced with something more informative, since we know the reason for being unable to display the results?
