Make hashtags discoverable #4736

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Hashtags are a dismal experience on bluesky. To make it worse search doesn't surface them as you type, hiding them even further

And while we're at it, complete them as you start to type # something in a post just like you do for @ in posts.

Or just give up and remove them.

Describe the solution you'd like

If a search begins with # don't return users, return posts as your type or the hashtags themselves

Describe alternatives you've considered

Poking people with sharp sticks. Not feasible given geography.

Additional context

A nice to have, given that you can't copy hashtags, is a compose button on the hashtag search results page which starts the composer with the hashtag prefilled

I am picking this up. Are there any edge cases to keep in mind?
