@jerryI'm wondering about links that make it to the trending tab (news), but where I get zero results from searching for the link.

I'm wondering about links that make it to the trending tab (news), but where I get zero results from searching for the link. Is it just because people's accounts aren't searchable (unchecked "Include public posts in search results" in settings > profile > privacy and reach), but everyone's (edit: more people's; see next) posts are included in the trending algorithm?

@jerry

also, is "Feature profile and posts in discovery algorithms" the toggle that determines if your posts get included in the trending features?

@joriki remove the “https://“ from the url when you search.

@jerry

seems like that should be part of the stemming algorithm

@joriki search is not awesome by design. I believe urls route the search to a specific set of code that tries to connect to it as an activitypub node and when that doesn’t work, it just bombs out.
