Search FAQs

My posts aren’t showing up in search results, why?

There are a few reasons why your posts might not show up in search results:

  • Are your posts protected? If so, only your followers can see your protected posts in search results.

  • Is your profile marked as Not Safe For Work (NSFW)? If so, your posts won’t show up in search results unless those searching have opted in to see NSFW content. See our Adult Content Policy to learn about our sensitive content settings and how to adjust them.
