`/search?type=Url` doesn't work with comments and `/search?type=All` doesn't prioritize the resolved post/comment

Requirements

• This is a bug report, and if not, please post to https://lemmy.ml/c/lemmy_support instead.
• Please check to see if this issue already exists.
• It's a single bug. Do not report multiple bugs in one issue.
• It's a frontend issue, not a backend issue; Otherwise please create an issue on the backend repo instead.

Summary

Searching with type=Url allows only returning resolved contents, which works fine when with post URLs, but returns nothing with comment URLs.

And switching back to type=All, for both cases (post and comment) drowns the resolved content into a mess of other search results, instead of showing it first.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Go to https://jlai.lu/search?q=https://lemmy.world/post/1&type=Url ;
2. Only see the resolved post (expected) ;
3. Go to https://jlai.lu/search?q=https://lemmy.world/comment/1&type=Url ;
4. See nothing (expected : see the resolved comment) ;
5. Go to https://jlai.lu/search?q=https://lemmy.world/comment/1&type=All ;
6. See the resolved comment at the 21st position (expected : at the first position).

Verified... our search types in the search.tsx file are hardcoded and incorrect, and don't match the actual search type.

We removed the Url search type anyway.

We removed the Url search type anyway.

Why ? In which version will this removal be effective ? What am I gonna do then ?

[dessalines]

Url isn't a search result type, its a filter. Search result types are things like posts, comments, communities.

[KaKi87]

Oh, yeah. But does that mean that you're going to remove the filter because of having removed the result type ? And if yes, what am I gonna do then ?

[dessalines]

The searchType will be Post or All, you'll type in the URL, and the search will return a Post. Just be patient we have a lot of issues and not enough developers.
