Search bug in Mac 8.7?

Well, it makes sense if thats how its supposed to work but it doesn't make sense ;) I was searching for a full email, not just part of one and thats not how the old search worked at all nor does it work that way in the web UI. So in this case i could be searching on mailto:jasonkratz@blah.com and get a list back that has absolutely nothing related like mailto:jason@thisiswrong.com. Thats not how proper search should work. I'd understand if I typed in the three bits separately but not a specific email.

Let me give a specific use case. I have an email that i used lots of places that I want to replace with another one (lets say the original is mailto:jasonkratz@blah.com). right now in this scenario I'm getting back like 56 results that have nothing to do with that email and maybe 3 that do. I just want 3 results to see how many i've got left. I don't want to have to crawl thru 56 other items looking to see if maybe it was an alternate email, or a saved web form field or something.
