No results when using query_params

Description: Weird behaviour when using query_params

Creating, adding, indexes works fine. Queries also work fine via redis-cli however translating them to python and using query_params gives me no results.

e.g. this doesn't work:

items_query = (
    Query(r"@item_id:{$item_ids}")
    .sort_by("created_time").dialect(2)
)

results = await aioredis_conn.ft("items_idx").search(
    items_query,
    query_params={
        "item_ids": "|".join(item_ids),
    },
)  # type: ignore

This works:

items_query = (
    Query(r"@item_id:{"+"|".join(item_ids)+"}")
    .sort_by("created_time").dialect(2)
)

results = await aioredis_conn.ft("items_idx").search(
    items_query,
)  # type: ignore

Is there a way to see the complete query that gets sent ? I assumed the "|" is causing an issue in the query params but I don't really see how as it works when using it directly and even in the below case.

this works fine (this code is somewhere else but is similar):

query = (
    Query(r"@uuid:{$uuid} @item_id:{$item_ids}")
    .return_fields("item_id", "state")
    .dialect(2)
)  # type:ignore

result = await aioredis_conn.ft("another_idx").search(
    query,
    query_params={
        "uuid": user_uuid,
        "item_ids": "|".join(item_list),
    },
)  # type: ignore

All of the params are TAGs.

How do you even begin to debug these kinds of issues ? (explain doesn't seem to work in python for the above)
