I didn’t believe you but can confirm this blank search within the Facebook app. Instagram, by the same parent company, has lots of results though. Guess all the puritanical boomers are on Facebook not Insta
I wouldn’t be surprised if there was some sort of “shadow ban” style component to this. I think Tumblr does something like that where postsand tags that are marked as sexually explicit can’t be found by searching for them, but if you’re following the person, you can see them.
