If you want your public posts to be searchable by their entire contents (not just hashtags), you need to tick a particular box in your profile settings. Lots more info here:
️ https://fedi.tips/how-do-i-opt-into-or-out-of-full-text-search-on-mastodonFor privacy and safety reasons this feature is switched off by default. You need to switch it on if you want your own posts to be "full text searchable".
This only affects posts that have a public visibility setting. Posts with other visibility settings are not searchable at all.

@FediTips And if the instance in question is a WordPress self-hosted blog federated through ActivityPub? Is it automatically and publicly searchable? #WordPress #activitypub

Good question: @pfefferle

Excellent question, @pfefferle would indeed be the person to ask!

@FediTips @NickBohle @talksina It is, based on the "Search engine visibility" of your WordPress site.
`/wp-admin/options-reading.php`
If you allow search engines, it is also publicly searchable on Mastodon, otherwise not.

@pfefferle @altbot Understood what it is, it's the one in the WordPress settings. And yes, it's on!
