Search broken in private messages

[softmoth]

The new user on-boarding procedure uses a private message thread from discobot. One of its messages is to teach about the search function:

@discobot

psst … I’ve hidden a surprise in this topic. If you’re up for the challenge, select the search icon at the top right to search for it.

Try searching for the term "capy​bara" in this topic

It has, indeed, edited the first message to include the word "capybara", but it does not show up in the search results as expected. There is an old issue about this, but it seems people got confused about what was being reported, and the issue wasn't addressed:

Search broken in internals forums

@discobot asked me to play the certification game with them. At some point this means searching for “capybara”, but the search on this installation will not come up with anything (“No results found.”). The search on https://users.rust-lang.org/ works fine. Another issue with @discobot is that the Certified and Editor badges are not being granted on this installation after completing the game, while they work fine on https://users.rust-lang.org/. Shall I report this separately?

Regards,

Tim

This forum is a hosted Discourse instance, so we don't run custom code or anything. Maybe report this to the meta Discourse?
