I can't find some communities when searching in the app (vlemmy.net)

I am wondering why I can't find some communities when searching the app with the full !community@server. Searching for the same community on the web page works.

Check out section 2 of the find and subscribe section of https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/post/61827.

Notably, searching the "community" type for the fully specified community name returns nothing. You have to search the "all" type. I have no idea why this is the case, it makes no sense. But if jerboa is searching the "community", which would make sense for that searchbox... you'd expect no results to be returned.

If your instance knows about the community, a keyword search will probably work, using just the name part of the community without the bang and server bits.

I should have specified that I only used the full name after the community name alone returned nothing. How do you search for all using the app? It works on the website but as far as I can see there are no search options in the app.

I don't believe the it's possible to do an all search in Jerboa. Searching the full name then the simple name might work in Jerboa because the simple name generally works from a community search after "teaching" the instance about a new community with the full name search, but I haven't tested.
