That said, I don't think any search system would ever say "Sorry, your query
contains a syntax error. Try again."

So probably this is more of a "feature" than a "bug" that we don't tell the
user that their search couldn't be processed.

It's a shame that we don't have a mechanism for storing searches that fail, so
that we can analyze them and work to avoid their problems in the future...

While we might not think of bad search queries as "bad data", perhaps we should
and leverage ideas regarding "bad data" such as "automated data quality
monitoring and error detection".

I'll have to put some more thought into this, but I think that there's a seed
there of something.
