Are they doing that? It seems to me that if a post reaches your instance's database, it is possible to search it. Remember, search in the Fediverse pre-dates Mastodon's existence.

I'm glad that Mastodon is finally getting search, but I fear that the "opt in" is giving people the false impression that their public posts are not searchable without their permission, when non-Masto software has always had search capability.
