yes, search engine is not so well trained in SN.
Sometimes I do searches for my own posts (without mentioning my alias) just to see what results will get somebody that doesn't know me or just search a simple guide.
I know for a fact the title and the content I posted and if I put it into the search term is not showing up, only after deep scrolling.
Maybe it took time to index, who knows.

also, specific comments are hard to find.!
Eg. if I was looking for a specific comment, even if I remembered half of it, but I couldn't search it back; but I have learnt a trick on this because I usually zap the stuff that I like, and I end up finding it in my statistics! madness.

Searching for specific content is something different from the dupes check in the link post form. I wasn't sure which one OP is talking about but I assumed the dupes check.
Did you search only for posts when you entered the title? By default it searches everything which includes random comments. When I use it, I always need to tweak the filters to find what I am looking for.

I input all the keyword I remembered, then searched it with filters comment + match and couldn't find it 😳 so strange.
