My ideal solution would be to inform the user that search results for `user:me` require a signed in user in order to know who `me` refers to, and then show a sign in page that will automatically redirect to the search results once the user has finished signing in.

I understand this would be more development work than simply displaying a message, but since we already have the option of redirecting after signing in for other parts of the site, I mention this as a possible longer term feature.
