Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue at https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/search?q=%3A%3A and compare quick-search results with the full search opened by “Not seeing what you are searching for?”. Trace the search entry point and determine why :: returns no full-search matches; done means the full results include pseudo-elements.
