community search needs some serious work (lemmy.one)

When I go search for communities I pretty much never get results even if I know certain communities exist. I think the search is only searching the titles maybe? Needs to search the description at least and have fairly loose matching results. Otherwise it'll come to a point where you have to slog through lists and lists and lists.

yeah see that's not working for me at all on lemmy.one. I can search now on that feddit but can't figure out how to subscribe because search just returns nothing no matter what I put in

Make sure you have all of the search settings on "All". It doesn't work if the search is set to "Communities".

Search cannot be set to anything else but All. It springs back to All as soon as I select something else. I think it reloads the page.
