I found a new O'Keefe article I wanted to post. I did a title search of /s/Allfor 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/Newpage 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 just retried the exact same O'Keefe search, same Silk browser , and now it works like it should(pic8.co).

WTF? What changed?

Nope, nothing has changed. Your search results are still missing about 20 posts (probably from blocked users/subs).

I just reverified. I have 0 Blocked users, 0 blocked subs according to my profile.

I do remember a POAL subscription option from years ago, a list of all subs alphanumericly listed and user is allowed to subscribe/unsubscribe each sub. It was a lengthy and tedious process so I think I gave up subscribing to specific subs, ended up subscribing to all IIRC. Is that subscription function still available? I looked around but didn't stumble upon it. It is possible I am not subscribed to every sub yet I am able to see them in /s/alland post to them. Could the search be dependent upon subscribed subs only?

Thoughts?

Subscriptions have no effects on search results. I need to check again, but I’m pretty sure the search also skips posts from users that have you blocked.

I’ve got a bad flu so bear with me, I’ll check that out later.
