[I'd say my testing was somewhere between cursory and thorough.] It appears to me that part of the problem has been addressed. A register search (including the "All Transactions" pseudo-register) finds all - and only - transactions with "gif3ts" in payee, or tag, or memo; including finding that text in split lines. A global search also successfully finds the same transactions ... but it also still finds unqualified transactions (which all seem to have a "3" somewhere in their amount).
