It would be nice with a search engine made with decentralization in mind.

    Or exposure to harassment, including offline. Or context collapse. Or…

    In the end, adding search would change the space dramatically, especially any privacy-related expectations. And there are about 2mln people who are using fedi with current set of expectations. There are hundreds of thousands who had been using it with this set of expectations for years. Waltzing in and bulldozing these expectations is just not a good idea.

    So yeah, don’t do search on fedi unless you do some deep research about consent.
