How to make magazines appear in search? (kbin.social)

Having an issue I hope someone can help with:
I created a magazine (https://kbin.social/m/Frenchies) but when I use the Kbin search at the top of the page, it does not appear? I've tried various search terms, but neither the magazine nor the post I made in it show up. I have 2 subscribers, but I think they came from direct links I posted in other's comments.

Do I need to somehow make the magazine public? Or index-able? I added Tags in the tag section of the magazine. Hoping someone can help out, I really need my dog picture fix!

Your sub is searchable through https://kbin.social/magazines . It probably took a second for the database to update.

It is a week old magazine at this point. The issue appears to be that i was not switching to magazine search instead of whatever the search defaults to (threads?). Seems like something worth improving on, if I'm searching for a topic i would obviously be interested in magazines on that topic too, not just posts that mention the topic. Thank you for the reply!

I see. The search function is for searching specific terms over every thread. But I agree that there should be more options to filter your search. Feel free to make a suggestion here.
