This is not a bug.

The entry in the search box is a regular expression and '+' has a
special meaning in regular expressions. Searching for "lists_s+spaml"
says find all members whose address contains "lists_" followed by 1 or
more "s" (s+) followed by "spaml"

If you want to find a literal "+" you have to escape it as in
"lists_s\+spaml".

Follow the "(help)" link next to "Find member" for more info.
