rustdoc "* -> vec" (documented example for search in type signature) yields error

[RalfJung]

In its help, rustdoc says I can use "* -> vec" to search by type signature. But when I actually run exactly that search query, rustdoc says

Query parser error: "Unexpected *".

Hmm, I think it uses the syntax -> vec instead (though we've discussed switching to * -> vec, which I prefer). I'll open a PR.

Yeah -> vec works.

This looks like a fairly recent regression, * -> vec still works in 1.61.

It could be that the old query parser just ignored the *. A new one was implemented recently that's strict about syntax.
