Resolved Search Function fails when searching for O'Keefe in /s/All

I found a new O'Keefe article I wanted to post. I did a title search of /s/All for O'Keefe, the newest entry found was 22 days ago,

So, not finding a duplicate, I posted my post - https://poal.co/s/BasedMedia/705833.

Later I review the /s/New page and discover this O'Keefe news item (from a different source) was previously posted 3 hours ago - https://poal.co/s/StateofCorruption/705807

... yet the search function missed it. Both titles contain O'Keefe but still the search tool overlooks them.

Any ideas? I figured the new page covered all subverses. Maybe the ' is screwing the search? The post from 22 days ago also has a ' and search found it, so that doesn't seem to be the case.

I wanted to eliminate any stray possibility that a lack of a subscription could impact me in any way.

Subscribing to subs has nothing to do with searching.

I live on /s/all/new

There's no such thing as /s/all. (All isn't a sub)

There are two different front pages: Home and All

Home: shows only posts from subs you're subscribed to. All: shows everything posted.

They both can be sorted by: New, Hot, Top, Pop

New: shows all the newly submitted posts. Hot: shows all the recent posts that are getting upvoted by users. Pop: shows all popular posts from the past 7 days that contain active discussions. Top: shows all the most upvoted posts.
