Steps to replicate the issue (include links if applicable):
I have a number of search URLs bookmarked to assist in patrolling pending AfC drafts. Up until today they were working fine. For example: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ASearch&limit=500&offset=0&ns118=1&sort=create_timestamp_desc&search=coverage+-%22routine+coverage%22+-%22significant+coverage%22+deepcat%3A%22Pending+AfC+submissions%22&sort=create_timestamp_desc&advancedSearch-current={%22fields%22%3A{%22deepcategory%22%3A[%22Pending+AfC+submissions%22]}}&searchToken=1gp5lziima6jhyyrq24ko37gj
Alternatively, enter the search term coverage -"routine coverage" -"significant coverage" and select the category "Pending AfC submissions" in Advanced Search -> Pages in these categories.
What happens?:
No results. For some queries, it will show results for an unrelated word that shares some letters and with deepcat removed (e.g. draft deepcat:"Pending AfC submissions" -> draw)
What should have happened instead?:
I should get multiple pages containing the word "coverage". To be clear, I have tried this with other search queries as well, such as the "draft" example I mentioned above (which should *definitely* return results).
