Here's some things in Search you may want to look at. Basically it seems like URLs aren't returned in search results when you'd think they would be.
I would expect this post Need feedback on product - Speed ( www.tryspeed.com ) to show up whenever I search for tryspeed. But here are my results:
https://stacker.news/search?q=tryspeed (tryspeed without quotes, lots shows up. The first search result that comes up does NOT appear to have tryspeed in the text anywhere that I could find. The closest I could find was the word speech. The second result has my targeted post.
https://stacker.news/search?q=%22tryspeed%22 (tryspeed in quotes, nothing shows up)
https://stacker.news/search?q=%22tryspeed.com%22 (tryspeed.com in quotes, nothing shows up)
https://stacker.news/search?q=%22www.tryspeed.com%22 (www.tryspeed.com in quotes, my targeted post shows up)
Similar thing here:
https://stacker.news/search?q=discoverpraxis without quotes, doesn't find target post
https://stacker.news/search?q=%22discoverpraxis%22 with quotes, doesn't find target post
https://stacker.news/search?q=%22discoverpraxis.com%22 with quotes, with .com, DOES find the posts I thought it should.
We do support url searching but it has to be explicit right now. Good feedback.
