regex 101 misunderstanding



I can't seem to get Mutt to limit mails displayed to just those
with "jimo+blah" in a Received header.  I've tried variations on
the following, with result "No messages matched criteria.":

Limit to messages matching:
~h received.*jimo\+
~h received.*jimo+
~h "received.*jimo\+"
~h received.*jimo\+blah
~h "received.*jimo\+blah"
~h "received.*jimo +"
~h "received.*jimo \+"
~h "received.*jimo +blah"

I've tried single quotes in place of the double quotes, tried a
colon after the "received" and maybe a hundred other things.

What am I missing?

FWIW, here's my mutt -v:

I get the same result on my ISP:
