Only keywords work for me, such as searching for just 'beekeeping'

Jerboa is a native-android client for Lemmy, built using the native android framework, Jetpack Compose.
Warning: You can submit issues, but between Lemmy and lemmy-ui, I probably won't have too much time to work on them. Learn jetpack compose like I did if you want to help make this app better.

That's the first thing I did of course. But after failing to find said communities I tried with the full name which failed to work on the app and worked on the website
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.
I wish there was just a way to browse all linked communities like you can in a browser.
If we can only click on a community name and be directed to it. It seems to do nothing now or sometimes it crashes the app
Same issue as OP - no searches yield results for me whether it's keyword, name, full name, or http link.
Searching the same communities on the website works fine.
Feels like Jerboa doesn't pick up newly federated communities on the second search like the browser does.
Have you tried just searching their name?
Can you give me an example and I will try on mine.
I'm able to search although it is a bit finicky. I find I have to go to the dotted hamburger menu, then go to the search field then type in something, then delete what I typed. Finally once I've done all that all the communities show up and I can start searching using key words.
I searched for keywords first but it gives no results. It's usually for new communities. For example [email protected] or [email protected]. Some older communities aren't there was well. Some of those listed on Browse Feddit cannot be found. When searching on the web version with the full community@server they show up but not when using app search
Which app are you using?
this is literally the community of one specific application...
