How can I search posts and comments on Lemmy?
Am doing something wrong or does that functionality not exist yet? I would love to search posts and comments using search terms. It would greatly help to discover content.

Could you please paraphrase your post title as a question? It's rule #1.
I did, thanks for pointing it out.
on mobile browser tap the hamburger menu on the top right. in that menu you should see a magnifying glass, tap it. that should open search, which has a drop-down to select between comments, posts, etc. you can also select to search subscribed/local/all
Thank you so much!
I just tried a search on your instance and it looked like it worked.
Do you see results here?

I do, thanks!
instance.com/search should work. You can also specify search type to be just posts or just comments. Keep in mind that it will only search the posts/comments from communites your instance is linked with (aka at least one person has search for it).
I was searching on Jerboa. It looks like it doesn't have that feature yet. I thought Lemmy itself didn't have that feature.
