What is Indexed in Tumblr Search?
How is the search indexing working on tumblr? I ask because often when I look for photos, it appears as if photo-caption isn't indexed. I notice the same thing when I try to search through my old posts and end up having to revert to a custom google search.
Can you put up a staff post about which values you're indexing?

I’m very mildly exasperated.

Inappropriate?Hi, Chris. All posting content is made available to search engines for crawling. But, we can't control what they actually index and display.

Marc, I'm aware that you guys do put things on the web for general crawling.
I'm actually talking about the search within the tumblr dashboard. -
Inappropriate?Hi again, Chris, Your post content, tags, and linked-to site names are all indexed. That should include photo captions.

a time delay ? how long ?
is it a must to put the keywords in tags ? or optional ? -
Inappropriate?Contrary to what Marc says, I'm not finding that tumblr search indexes tags in posts. Is there a solution I'm not aware of?

Can you email a specific tag and a post that has that tag to support@tumblr.com so we can look into this? Perhaps it's just server indexing lag.

Inappropriate?Thanks for the reply Marc -- it does appear to be server lag. I just need to be more patient! It's taken a few days for tag indexing to work after posts have been tagged, but search is definitely indexing 'em.
