Reported by AgentFri...@gmail.com, Nov 12, 2014
Affected Version: 2.9.1

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Enter the following into the search box:  message:'fix'
2. click search
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Show all reviews with "fix" in the commit message.  Instead, it throws an error.

Please provide any additional information below.
All search terms in the documentation indicate the single-quote (apostrophe) character.  This is apparently wrong.

The syntax in the documentation is a bit misleading indeed. I think most people are used to see something like <message> for a placeholder, where here it is 'MESSAGE'. Some way down the page it says that double quotes or matched curly braces are allowed for argument quoting. No single quotes.

I'll look into it and if I don't find a good reason for the single-quotes-all-uppercase syntax, I'll propose something that changes it to a lowercase-in-angle-brackets syntax.
