So, you’re not running into a poorly-documented mystery, you’ve run
afoul of one of the rotten armpits of the shub-Internet.


So there's no consensus between NICs for the information they should
have in whois and what search mechanisms they should provide? I guess
what you're saying is that whois is just a protocol definition and
nothing else?


Might not even qualify for "protocol definition", and RFC 3912 ACKs this:
