@feditips @jentaub [nods] The search bar says hashtags *and users.*

I’m looking specifically for people who I *know* are on Mastodon, where I know their handles and even often the full handles including the servers they are on, and ‘search’ cannot find them (or finds some, but not others - which is weirder).

tl;dr - It’s not a fucntional search right now.

@feditips @jentaub Again, we live in a world *after* Twitter. If I’m coming here trying to find people I know are here, with solid information, and ai cannot find them quickly and easily, that’s a bug, not a feature.

FediTips has moved!

@DaultRadio @jentaub

If you enter the full account address in the form "@ user @ server" without the spaces, as copied directly from their profile pages, it should work.

If you only enter part of it, it may not work because your server won't know which server to check.

If it's not working for you right now, it sounds like your server has a bug or a delay on it, possibly caused by the huge number of signups in past few days.
