Spaces search issue

Hello Hugging Face team and community!

First of all I’d like to thank you for your great effort in pushing AI beyond it’s limits, it’s truly amazing.

Now to the issue. Recently we’ve created a space to demo our virtual try-on: https://huggingface.co/spaces/texelmoda/try-on-diffusion

Everything went pretty smoothly, except for the Spaces search. I’m able to find the space by using the “try-on” query, but it’s not showing up neither for “virtual try-on” nor for “virtual try-on diffusion” (the exact title match). Why is that the case? Could you share any details for how the Spaces search work?

P.S. As a suggestion, maybe it would be helpful to hide spaces that are in error state (build error or runtime error) from the search output or at least have a filter to exclude them? Usually there are a lot of non-working duplicates…

Keep up the great work!

Best regards,
Andrey

Maybe the HF search engine hadn’t picked up the information yet?
If I try it now, it comes up.

Thank you! My guess is that the Spaces search only considers the repo name (as present in the URL) and space title and description are completely ignored. After examining search results it seems like a lot of repo names do not even match the title and are present in the output that way (e.g. repo name = keywords for search), which is not ideal…

Maybe so. I usually make sure the folder name and title match when I create a space, so I didn’t notice, but I have thought that I couldn’t find other people’s spaces.:sweat_smile:
However, this is a problem with the contents of the Hagiing Face server, so there is no place to report a bug.
The quickest way to report it is to reply to the following post.
