Search missing things that have already been federated? (piefed.blahaj.zone)

I’m not totally sure if this is a Piefed issue or a Blahaj server issue, so sorry if it’s the wrong spot for this.

I’ve noticed that when I try to search for things, the results I get aren’t as expected. If I don’t select to search a community, post, or comment, I get nothing. Searching for posts or comments also pretty frequently gets me nothing.

Random example: just searching ‘signal’ gets me nothing on both posts and comments, along with nothing if I select nothing. But if I search under communities it gives me a community that is already federated and has threads and comments about Signal.

@ada@piefed.blahaj.zone @supakaity@piefed.blahaj.zone

Could y’all take a look at this code stuff I don’t understand so that search is working properly for Piefed Blahaj? 🫶

And thank you Rimu!

Yep, we have the fix, and will be putting it in place ASAP

[–] Catoblepas@piefed.blahaj.zone 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Yay, thanks!

[–] ada@piefed.blahaj.zone 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Kaity has worked her magic and implemented the fix. Search is working now

[–] Catoblepas@piefed.blahaj.zone 1 points 3 weeks ago

🥳 Thank you both!

Yeah this is likely effecting most new PieFed instances.

[–] Demigodrick@lemmy.zip 3 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Thanks Blaze! Will run that asap!

[–] Blaze@piefed.zip 3 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Thank you!

[–] Demigodrick@lemmy.zip 3 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Done! :)

[–] Blaze@piefed.zip 3 points 3 weeks ago

And now it indeed works, great! :)

Something seems off indeed.

I searched for "Piefed" and nothing showed up

[–] OpenStars@piefed.social 1 points 3 weeks ago

Yeah, or "microsoft", despite the top post having that word in its very title.

Search functionality in general is not ideal on PieFed, but specifically for piefed.blahaj.zone it seems broken.
