What I mean by that is, why do some links to GIFs, images, videos, etc. display the thing being linked to in the post itself, while others require you to click on a link and go to another page?

Because only directlinks to imgur-photos and youtube-videos are programmed to be embedded on this website.

how does searching work

No special markup will be required, simply input any valid Imgur URL (you cannot link to a gallery, only an individual image) and the image will embed itself for anyone who has this setting turned on (signatures are excluded).

As of now, only Imgur is supported (much like only YouTube for video links), but we'll be looking into adding more image and video sources beyond these two in the near future.

Today, we've added several alternatives to Imgur for those who would like to use another image hosting service. Now, we will embed images from any of the following: Giphy, Gfycat, Imgtc.
