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.
I’ve just made a fix that will weight the title of a post higher than the body. So if your search term is in the title of a post that will be deemed as more relevant and higher in the search results than a post with it in the body.
This will be part of the v1.2 release.

That’s good to know, I had assumed that was for search engines crawling the site and not the search within Piefed. Thanks for the update!
It’s both, which is a bit unfortunate. But what we’re seeing lately is bots hoovering up every post regardless of whether we want them to or not so…
Alas, also good to know!
Something seems off indeed.
I searched for “Piefed” and nothing showed up
