If there's a way to do it, I don't know it. But it's on my list of features to recommend for future iterations of Lemmy.
One thing I haven't been able to check out yet is to see if posts are search-engine-facing.

It seems the general search is meant to do that. But it doesn't, at least not well.
Here is an example, which should find your post, but does not (for me).
The core insight is to use the 'community' dropdown. Helped me find some things, but as this example shows, does not work reliably. I could not find your post by searching for full title, title parts, body parts.

Neither for me. Adding quotes also returns no results. Can you share an example where it works?

The above link only yields results from asklemmy@lemmy.ml. So in a way, it is what you asked for.
This query shows me your post as the first result.
This query shows me my comment as the first result.
Yes it is unreliable, but it's the best I know to (sometimes) do the job. I would also appreciate a better solution, that's how I came to this thread.

Interesting, they don't seem to work for me. Can't find neither my post, nor your comment.
Interesting, I was afraid of that. Adds to the unreliability :D
Are you by any chance not subscribed to asklemmy@lemmy.ml? With how federation and content pulling works, that could be an explanation.
I subscribed, but it says subscribe pending.

Have that too with some instances. Being pending should already suffice to make the content visible.
Try the searches again, do yours now show the same as mine?
I meant I've been subscribed and it's like this for days. Also rechecked and noticed that the newest result is 6 days old in my post search and 7 days old in your comment search, despite searching by New. So I think it's something to do with that.
Yeah , do you guys know?
I have being looking for the get in the pea.. meme that I saw on Lemmy I had no idea how to look for it in here. Also if there is a way to do it the apps that could also be helpful.
