‘Bingo Gazingo with Leo Abrahams — I’m So Used to Losing [2013, recorded 2009; spoken word poetry]’
-
‘David Shrigley — Shrigley Forced To Speak With Others [2006, spoken word]’
I’ve tried searching by the artists’ names, by ‘spoken word’ and ‘poetry’, from both the web interface and the Thunder app — the posts don’t show up. The posts open fine for me when I finally found them via an old comment, and they open in an incognito tab too.
Haven’t checked any other posts right now. I know that searching in general works, as I regularly look for old posts before submitting anything to c/music — which usually does find my other posts too. Searching for ‘David Shrigley’ across the instance turns up another post about him from five months ago.
Dunno how Lemmy does search, but this suggests that the search index might miss some posts from a particular time.

Do you have your settings to hide posts you have already seen?

Apparently that was indeed the culprit, thanks.
I’ve only recently discovered that property on posts, because the Voyager app doesn’t use it, hiding posts instead. With Thunder I manually mark my posts as unread to not have a panic attack when not seeing them in the community. But seem to have forgotten about it with the Therion posts, and of course never did that with older posts.
Anyway, imo that filter shouldn’t apply in search, and I’ll probably file an issue to Lemmy. I’ve already had this problem with RedReader on Reddit, having to fiddle with the settings every time before searching something and revert them afterwards.

Yeah I realized recently it was hiding posts I made to a community that only I have posted in and I thought my posts weren’t showing up.
They were visible if I went through my profile.
I also don’t think they should be hidden from direct searches.
