It would be nice with a search engine made with decentralization in mind.
Like the internet is decentralized but the good search engines are at centralised companies like Google etc.

I was thinking the decentralized design makes it more difficult to find stuff but I can also see the issue of potential trolling or spam bots. Or exposure to the public web when you don’t want to.
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.
