Different results from GraphQL Explorer on Web vs. GraphQL API in Postman

Body

I recently discovered the GraphQL API Explorer on web and have been working on a search query that seems to give me the results I expect.

However, upon taking the same query into Postman and posting my query to https://api.github.com/graphql, I only ever get a single result rather than the 201 results I get from the web explorer above (which sends the queries to https://graphql.github.com/graphql/proxy if that matters.) The query cursor also returns that there are no further pages. The single result I get is always associated with the same author among the five in my query.

For the latter, I have tried both classic and fine-grained personal access tokens (read access to administration, code, commit statuses, discussions, issues, merge queues, metadata, pages, and pull requests).

Should I expect the same results from both endpoints, or is this expected behaviour? Are there configuration settings or search parameters that I've overlooked?

My query follows:

query search ($after: String, $before: String, $first: Int, $last: Int, $query: String!, $type: SearchType!) {
    search (after: $after, before: $before, first: $first, last: $last, query: $query, type: $type) {
        pageInfo {
            endCursor
            hasNextPage
            hasPreviousPage
            startCursor
        }
        nodes {
            ... on PullRequest {
                title
                url
                author {
                    login
                }
                createdAt
                closedAt
                merged
                mergedAt
                comments {
                    totalCount
                }
                reviewThreads {
                    totalCount
                }
                totalCommentsCount
                reviews {
                    totalCount
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

And variables:

{
  "after": null,
  "before": null,
  "first": 5,
  "last": null,
  "query": "org:myorg is:pr is:closed closed:2023-01-01..2023-05-31 author:A author:B author:C author:D author:E",
  "type": "ISSUE"
}
