@FediTips I want to report a bug in mastodon search (not limited to my own instance). Where should I report this, if you know? Or any idea who I can ask? Thx.
bug: inaccurate search results when using the search interface (error does not occur when clicking on a hashtag). People not on mybinstance also get same error. (I have screenshots).
See images here. Search #housingcrisis does not return my own post with that tag, but search for "housingcrisis" does 😵💫

Imagine a night, a week, outside:
#housingcrisis #onpoli
#Toronto "historically opened warming centres once temperatures plummeted to -15 C, the threshold has changed to -5, with some additional spaces opening in worse chills.
Sorry for delay in replying, real life things happening at the moment 😅
Not every server supports advanced searches with operators like from:me (because these advanced searches require the admin to pay for an add-on that costs extra).
Could you ask your server's admin if they support advanced search operators? Specifically, ask them if they have "Elasticsearch" operating.
