Searching for emojis in the title of a note

It has often been suggested in these forums, by myself and others, that people use emojis in note titles and tags to draw attention to them.

This filters my 20 notes containing that emoji down to the 9 with it in the title

 

I have no idea why this works and it is certainly not the normal behaviour of intitle:

Thanks a lot! It was really frustrating...

Weird workaround, but it works.

Wondering if using the task switcher instead of intitle: would give different results.  (I haven't adopted emojis yet, though I might, so I can't check myself.)

Good question. Ctrl+Q gives unexpected results if you just type in the emoji - as far as I can see a fairly randome selection of notes!
