It seems to work for me. It could be that it didn't work for you, because I just upgraded the instance to the latest Lemmy version. Maybe you tried to search in the very moment I did some backend work.
Let me know if it works for you now.

I am not subscribed to Tulsa@midwest.social, but that one doesn't show up in community search.
Community content of "less popular" instances will show up in search once at least 1 person on this instance has subscribed to it.
I will add midwest.social to the seeder script on the server to have it periodically look up the most popular communities on there and subscribe to them automatically using a bot account, which has the same effect.
Result:
Oh I see, so that's by design... That list of instances is pretty long so I imagine an index of all their communities would be huge... and there's not separate "list of communities" and "posts within an instance" indices I assume? Is this something I should ask the lemmy devs about
