I can't find some communities when searching in the app (vlemmy.net)

I am wondering why I can't find some communities when searching the app with the full !community@server. Searching for the same community on the web page works.

Only keywords work for me, such as searching for just 'beekeeping'

Check out section 2 of the find and subscribe section of https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/post/61827.

Notably, searching the "community" type for the fully specified community name returns nothing. You have to search the "all" type. I have no idea why this is the case, it makes no sense. But if jerboa is searching the "community", which would make sense for that searchbox... you'd expect no results to be returned.

If your instance knows about the community, a keyword search will probably work, using just the name part of the community without the bang and server bits.

Same issue as OP - no searches yield results for me whether it's keyword, name, full name, or http link.

Searching the same communities on the website works fine.

Which app are you using?

this is literally the community of one specific application...
