Search Functionality is Limited #56

Open jazzyeagle opened 4 years ago

jazzyeagle commented 4 years ago

Search appears to be limited to usernames and toots that either you sent or someone sent to you.

Searching for tags (e.g. #floss, #supercollider, etc.) yield no results, even though clicking on a Tag in someone's comment brings up a bunch of toots for each one.

Similarly, if I were to look at a toot from in my home feed (one that I did not send out or one that I was addressed in) and then search for a word in that toot, that toot will not show up in the results. Again, the only toots that will come up are ones where I tooted using that word or someone addressed me and tooted that word.

I am requesting the Search Functionality be expanded accordingly.

You're right, it's currently only showing toots as results. I'll add users and tags in the future, but be aware that the search feature just displays whatever your instance returns as search results. As such I'm a bit surprised it only finds toots you're directly associated with.
