Archived channel not showing up in search
# main

I think I am experiencing a strange bug. steps to reproduce:
i used to hate taking notes. i would write something down and I would never see it again
  • click on the returned result.
  • Linen returns a 404 error
Question: is this due to that message not being indexed yet?

thanks for reporting that, the issue was that the conversation from the result is from a hidden channel, thats why it throws 404. We fix it already so the conversation will not be shown on the search result

@User its not a 'hidden' channel; Its a channel we archived; we want to link to this message still without having the channel show up on our Linen.dev channel directory. Is there a way to share a link to a message from a 'hidden'/archived channel? does this mean when a server archives a channel; all messages links are going to become broken?
a huge part of lenin is being able to share messages publically; there should be a way to handle archived channels.

@bad3r currently we don't support archived channels, if you hide the channel it will hide all conversations from search and from the sitemap, also for crawlers. I like the idea to be able to archived a channel, please be free to open a request to us https://github.com/Linen-dev/linen.dev/issues

I've created a github issue here https://github.com/Linen-dev/linen.dev/issues/965. We're revamping the search this next two weeks so might be able to fit this in
