The search autocompletes almost every other recent term I used. It's not a recency issue.

Most services, including Lemmy, have an infinite wall of posts. Checking every name would be a full-time job. And writing a title "John Doe who is/was/will be (explanation), (what happened/will happen)" is super easy, as you have to write something anyway
If you have enough interest to make a comment on a post you should have enough interest to open up another window and quickly put a name into a search engine. It's pathetically easy.
If I’m going to waste my fucking life writing a dumb question I’ll have to take time to check back on that would make me an idiot when Google is right fucking there.
I assume all of those comments are meant to pretend like it’s not important. It’s 2026. Come the fuck on.
