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.

Your browser doesn’t support special characters in url (apostrophes in that case).

Help me understand this.

My browser works fine using POAL search for the 22 day old post with apostrophes. Why are more recent posts with apostrophes not found? I don't see a difference.

Please try with a recent browser before making a bug report that isn’t related to Poal. Thanks.

To the best of my knowledge this version of Silk is the latest version of the browser, and apparently I no longer have access to Opera, Brave or any other browsers within Amazon's app store for Kindle apps. I am limited to Silk unless I perform some hocus pocus to put one of the un-supported android browsers on this Kindle, and I don't have the know how to override the Amazon constraints.

Make sure that you haven’t blocked some subs/users as their posts will not show in your search results.

I have no idea how your kindle handles Unicode within app/OS.

It works perfectly fine with several browsers here as per the linked picture.

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).
