`fun "str"` is just a Lua syntax sugar for `fun("str")` [1]. This only works for string literals, when you have a variable or any _expression_, you need to use the classic syntax with parentheses (), which means:

local headers = gmail:search("SUBJECT Test Since " .. yesterday)
local headers = gmail:search(SearchFilter)
