My Medium article is not searchable in Medium. What am I doing wrong?
Anybody has experience with Medium? I wrote and published an article on Medium. It ended up in Google search results but Medium does not find it in its own Search. Am I doing something wrong? Any good guides on Medium you can recommend?

Hi Alex. Have you perhaps set it to be behind the paywall? Sounds odd though.
Hm...Not behind the paywall - I can open the article in Incognito or via my profile. But Search brings nothing :/
That is odd. It could be because Medium uses a different algorithm. I get the same when I search for my most popular Medium article (startups.com review). It ranks page 1 on Google but not on Medium. However, this could be because startups.com is on Medium as an author and all their articles show up. If I take another article (Smashing the Rules of Project Management) this lists on both Google and Medium. It might be because the article is new and Medium has no readership stats on it. If you send me the title, I will have a search too.
I have the same problem and don't know what it is either. Two years later it's still happening.
