So apparently there’s some confusion over the new search function.

The search bar will now take you to the search page instead of the tagged page.

You can still get to the tagged page by manually entering the url, clicking on a tag, or tracking a tag.

The search page for something like ‘government shutdown’ will return posts tagged things like:

#government shutdown

#government #shutdown

#government shutdown: the movie: the musical

#is this because of the government shutdown?

#government shutdown//—//-

#anti-government #shutdown

etc.

The search will work with tags beyond the fifth tag whereas the tagged pages will not register posts for which the tag in question is not within the first five tags.

The search will only go through the tags on a post and not the content of a post.

Searches for a word in the English dictionary will return results tagged with alternate forms: ‘hiking’ will also return #hike, ‘fluorescent’ will also return #fluorescence, etc.

Reblogging because I added some new info!

Here we go. That’s useful.

I am also noting that if you have any tracked tags in your list (still accessed via the search bar), those go to the “tagged” pages and format, not the “search” pages.

wait so you can’t tag shit + random shit to avoid it showing up in the search? That kinda sucks. Gonna be a lot harder for ppl to keep hate out of tags while still tagging shit for people that have the same thing blacklisted.

ie a post saying “I hate pikachu” tagged #/////pokemon will still show up in search. But what if somone is trying to block ‘pokemon’ all togetherrrrr
