The only thing I did was to

  1. add the site link to my capsule for searching of the capsule

=> — kennedy.gemi.dev/site-search/

  1. Try the back linklink search

But it was not showing me any results till today. I think it took a while for the crawler to reach to my capsule.

I also added my capsule link to TLGS using following link

=> — tlgs.one/add_seed

Didn’t think linking to them was a requirement. My capsule has been up about a year with plenty of indexed links to it. Maybe it’s the back link search that I never did.

@istvan:

It likely isn't required... @Acidus will be able to elaborate if this is just a matter of the crawler getting around to indexing the capsule.

I think it may have been due to my robots.txt, which was there in an attempt to stop the content from being hit by web crawlers if someone linked to a document over a Gemini to Web proxy.

My attempt to block spiders from caching may have blocked Kennedy from indexing.

Search Engines in Gemini — I found out that when I search for my capsule on any of the search engines on Gemini, nothing comes up? I tried adding its url in Kennedy as well, few times, still nothing. Its weird since, the crawlers should be working just fine since I do not even have robot.txt in my main path of the capsule. Did anyone else has experienced this before? Its been more than 10 days since I launched my capsule. I hope it shows up in the search at least, just in case someone is cuious...
