Global search gives false positives!?
Dear all, the search results for "@mobilizon" (looking for @mobilizon@framapiaf.org) shows only false positives [1] in the global search (as it seems). What am I doing wrong here?

However, I was able to connect with the account using "Add new contact".

Thanks, however, I would have then expected "No results", the hits have seemingly nothing to do with @Mobilizon ...
xy..
@Wilmar Igl, PhD yes, thats right.. only thing I saw, was the hashtag #mobilizon, that could explain some of the matches
#Mobilizon

@Wilmar Igl, PhD The Friendica directory displays only Friendica accounts (of any type) that have opted to be shared into the directory. If you want to search for everyone that your server knows in the Fediverse, use the search bar at the top-right:

Here's the account of @Mobilizon as seen from my instance:

Edit: you can also use the search bar at the top in the left column, if you are in the contacts page

But I usually opt for the former option, as it's easier to do it everywhere you are

Thanks, your post says "Cătă friendica - Link to source Cătă 2 weeks ago (Received 13 hours ago) •", so you posted it two weeks ago, but I only received it 13 hours ago...

@Wilmar Igl, PhD @Mobilizon yeah, that's right. I understood that friendica.world was a bit overloaded for some reason, but now it's catching up.
