They said you can put quotes to it like
Pear “Join Lemmy” OR “Powered by kbin”
The “Join Lemmy” the commenter said, is on every lemmy server’s page, so it can help capture results from servers not following lemmy.*
Pear site:lemmy.* OR site:kbin.*
would miss things from many servers not following this naming convention
I think as the top comment here said, there are tools people make to help search the fediverse. There will be a good way to search it if it did become very popular
