A handle finds its account, not posts and a made-up hashtag

Since status search by words, searching "@name@host" also answered posts
sharing the handle's words and a hashtag "#@name@host" made of the query,
so a client that opens the profile when the account is the only result
(decePub's search) stayed on the list. A handle now searches accounts only,
and a hashtag result is offered only when the query is one (letters, marks,
digits and underscores, with a letter).

Found by decePub's end-to-end tests: every profile follow test failed.
