Help! I'm Missing!

Not seeing a being that you know is mentioned somewhere in gemini space? There could be a few reasons.

First, this index is built by a gemini space crawler that I am playing with. It has flaws, and doesn't crawl everything. It obeys "indexer" in robots.txt and won't go where it is told not to go. I hope to make it better, finding more of gemini space.

For the pages that are found, there are some rules used to find mentions:

Only mentions of the form ~beingname or @beingname are detected
Being names can have letters, numbers, - or _.
Being names have to start with a letter or _
Being names have to be at least 2 characters long
Only include a being mentioned on at least 2 different pages.

These rules exist solely to minimize the number of times we think something is a mention when it is not (using @ with time, ~ in URLs, etc). Usually ordering by decreasing occurrence is a way for incorrect results to float to the bottom. However I don't want this to be a game with mentions as points, so that's not an option. Requiring a minimum number of pages where a being name appears helps this.
