I’m a new kbin user. It feels like the “search” box for Magazines only (?) searches the magazines’ description field? For example, if I search the word “silicon”, I get a search result for the magazine “apple@kbin.social”.

That magazine has a description including the text, “A magazine for news and discussion about a small Silicon Valley fruit company”. Note the word “silicon” as part of silicon valley.

If I search “silicon fruit”, I get no results. If I search “silicon valley”, I again get the same magazine.

I found this magazine (kbinMeta@kbin.social) by searching for the word “feedback”.

I’m still experimenting to see how best to navigate and find what I want.

I’d also love to find a magazine or thread that is something like “new users”, “user guide”, “how to setup your kbin profile”, etc. Trying to search for terms like that isn’t getting me anything I want.

Happy forum’ing!
