Can someone make sure I understand NIP-05?

Instead of sharing my pubkey on Twitter, for example, I can share my nip-05 url. If someone wants to follow me on Nostr they can paste/type that into a client's search instead of the pubkey. The search (assuming the client supports nip05) will generate the same result as if I had pasted in my pubkey. Is this correct?

In theory, but when I search for a NIP-05 name in clients, it doesn’t find anything. I would really like to start using my NIP-05 name to share with people.

I’m finding the same thing. Searching the nip05 name is hit or miss. In iris I had better luck than Snort and damus. But the pubkey works the best.
