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.

It's a waste of time and resources.

I suspected that but whereas I didn't spec or write the code, I wanted to eliminate any stray possibility that a lack of a subscription could impact me in any way. I live on /s/all/new all the time now since QPatriots was archived, haven't intentionally used the home button in years.

ASCII was easier to deal with when I was writing editors and interface code 40 years ago. Not used to being stuck at the user end vs the developer end ... retired now so I'd better get used to it. Thanks for chasing this down! It would have really bugged me if we didn't figure it out.

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.

Yes. I meant to type "I live on all/new..."
