I always wondered about him. You know how sometimes you just get a certain feeling about someone and you can't quite put your finger on it? Well, that happened to me with Digg. So, that is my conclusion...in all of it's glorious logic. Miss you Chris! (TM) I think good ol’ Digg IS hiding stories from search. I always wondered about him.

It had 34 diggs but when I went to see if it was one of the most popular in that category it wasn't on the list? Not the same problem as not showing up in search but still odd.

The other day I found an interesting story and searched to see if it had been posted. I found no recent results for that fairly unique keyword, so, I began the posting process. When it checked for similar stories, though, it found several that had been posted in the last 24 hours. It seemed that the stories didn't show up in the regular site search, but somehow popped up in the "similar" search. I'd conclude that either there are separate databases or, more likely, that some keyword data is corrupted or missing.

Here is another story that was submitted and I don't see it in the search results either: http://digg.com/software/Navigator_9_Beta_has_been_released I was wondering the same thing.
