Your own content no longer quietly reads as missing

A page that lists things belonging to you — the copies you have made, your saved history, your drafts — could come back completely empty even though the content was there the whole time.

The cause was a mix-up about who a search was being run for. When nothing told the platform whose content to look for, it fell back to searching as a signed-out visitor. That is a safe thing to do — it can never show you somebody else's data — but it produces zero results for anything private, and zero results is indistinguishable from "you have nothing here". So the page reported absence, and the real reason left no trace anywhere.

This turned out to be behind several unrelated-looking problems at once: a "continue from your own copy" link that had never worked since the day it shipped, and a history table that told its owner there were no records while six sat in storage.

Searches now say who they are for, explicitly. A search meant for a particular person carries that person; a genuinely public listing — a catalog anyone may browse — says so too, and keeps working exactly as before. If a search that should be about somebody ends up with nobody, the platform now reports it by name instead of silently returning an empty page, and a search that would be meaningless without knowing who is asking refuses to answer rather than guessing.

The change never widens what anyone can see: a person who was not allowed to read something still cannot. What changes is that "you have nothing" and "we lost track of who you are" have stopped looking the same.
