   This is exactly why I've been arguing that there should be a (number of) search index and API-only services which provide this capability to individual servers. Well, that, and the related point that requiring each server to redundantly index the fedi to provide a search for their users is rather wasteful and expensive.

     A year later, search as a service for fedi servers of all sizes is forming up. This is very welcome.

     Now with more and more #instances upgraded to version 4.2.0 of #Mastodon, you can compare full text #search on different ones: Having multiple accounts, I did – and yes, the differences are rather big.

     Once again it seems clear, the bigger your instance the better for finding content in the #fediverse. Especially for journalists, this also implies, that an instance by your organization might not be the best idea. Something like journa.host could make more sense.
