#AskNostr Can anyone tell me why this is happening and or how to fix it?

For some reason I am unable to find #JackMallers when I search for his page and I am unable to tag @jackmallers in this post.

I thought maybe I could find him if I went to a fellow #Bitcoiners page and checked #Mutal friends and realized that’s not an option, at least in nostr:npub18m76awca3y37hkvuneavuw6pjj4525fw90necxmadrvjg0sdy6qsngq955 . So if I could make a suggestion, when looking up who someone follows can we see

Oh thanks🫂! I mean I didn’t “need” it, but sometimes I like seeing what he posts and for some reason he is literally the only person I can’t look up on here 🤷‍♀️

Have you pissed him off and got yourself blocked 😜

Thankfully no,

nostr:npub1jmy8weweqzckna0amz7pn0uhhkxx693l7st23829ewmu43yvjsesfp6xcq pointed out that there is a space in his name and I was not putting a space 🙂‍↕️

🫂🫂

Yeah, I was kinda lost as to why as well. 🤷‍♀️

nostr:nprofile1qqsvf646uxlreajhhsv9tms9u6w7nuzeedaqty38z69cpwyhv89ufcqpzamhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumn0wd68ytnzv9hxgtcvd6gmf has a space in his name.

I think the space might make it more difficult to locate his npub.

Uhhfff I’m so embarrassed I did not try that 🤦‍♀️ you are 100% right, it was the space.

The only way I can find the real Jack Mallers is by pasting npub. When I search, I find a fake account. nostr:npub1dmcd5wqd3yku05svp6xqk5gyywek4cgg0w3dk63tcu0rmjxnanns5xutjm is not the real JM

Thanks to nostr:npub1jmy8weweqzckna0amz7pn0uhhkxx693l7st23829ewmu43yvjsesfp6xcq I found out what we are doing wrong. Jacks name has a space in it, so when you search 🔍 ‘JackMallers’ he won’t come up but if you add a space ‘Jack Mallers’ you will find him.

I found out what the problem was … 🧐 there is a space in his name 🤦‍♀️ nostr:npub1jmy8weweqzckna0amz7pn0uhhkxx693l7st23829ewmu43yvjsesfp6xcq pointed this out 🫡

damus still struggles tagging people with spaces in the name, since we use space to get out of tagging. Profile search is a workaround until we have a fix, but you have to copy and paste the npub from there which is annoying.

get your shit together

😂😂😂

I agree. The search is shit. Almost have to know their npub to find anyone

Actually it always works for me, he was just one user that I was struggling to find and now I know why. 🙃
