“There doesn’t seem to be anything here”

Reddit search pulls in the most arbitrary posts when given a single keyword, even deleted comments remain indexed to the post. But they somehow have nothing about lemmy. That seems suspect, considering search isn’t otherwise broken.

Edit: getting results for lemmy now? Did I happen to search within the 10 second window where search was broken? That feels unlikely

    I was trying to replicate a post on this community (this will bump you to my instance, I apologize. I don’t think there’s a way to link posts that doesn’t require one to use the instance of the poster but if there is, I’d love to learn it) when I found this. Unfortunately, after replicating it twice and verifying that other search terms were fully functional, it offers results again. I edited my post to reflect that. Still an incredibly odd bug for a single search term for only an incredibly brief window.
