I'm trying to follow https://disabled.social/@Lovelybug but when I put that in the search bar I just get "Could not find anything for these search terms". How do I investigate further?
@ciphergoth i just tried it, no results when using the exact wording in your OP, but worked when i prepended "https://", possibly that's required? lmk if you continue experiencing intermittent issues like this
@pee_zombie That prefix was present when I tried it, Mastodon stripped it for display.
@ciphergoth @pee_zombie I'm not 100% that this is what is going on, but I feel like there are degrees of "graceful failure" with search as things get overloaded, where it sheds general text searches first but can still do exact lookups, but then eventually if it gets even more overloaded those fail too. This is just a purely outside view from observing which queries fail and which succeed, and when.
@moultano @ciphergoth interesting... schelling.pt doesn't actually have full-text search configured just yet, so mb that's contributing? also unsure, i'll have to look into the metrics to see if I can spot anything off
