Subscribing to communities on other instances when they can't be found from searching All? (lemmy.one)

How does the search function work and why does it sometimes not work from different instances when searching All? In other words -

I search for a community that exists on Lemmy instance A (e.g. midwest.social) from Lemmy instance B (e.g. lemmy.ml) and it finds it.
I search for that same community from Lemmy instance C (e.g. lemmy.one), and it doesn't find it.
Lemmy instance A, B, and C are all connected / federated.

Ultimately, my goal is to subscribe to communities from the instance I'm logged into but can't find by searching All from there, for whatever reason. How do I do that?

That does seem to be the trick. Have to dig through comments, etc. that also match, but it did show up that way. Thanks!
