What's bothering me about #mastodon is that it's apparently impossible to search for parts of a user's handle. Example (using a handle from the trending pages). I'd like to search for @ [email protected] but searching for "carve" will show me profiles of that exact name or containing it in their bios.
Searching for "carveher" will show NO results for profiles. It will, however, show me hashtags where "carveher" is a part of.
WHY DOESN'T IT WORK LIKE THAT FOR HANDLES?
@SmartmanApps @realn2s @deborahh @gdinwiddie
To search the posts of an account that i follow, i have two steps:
Fetch the exact handler from:
https://dotnet.social/relationships?order=active&page=1
https://mstdn.ca/relationships?order=active&page=1
https://mastodon.social/relationships?order=active&page=1
https://infosec.exchange/relationships?order=active&page=1
or similar
Type into the search box:

as:Public 0.1.7 is out, on our production domain, https://aspublic.org/!
Text search for social media is vital for news gathering, public safety, and even humanitarian efforts by NGOs across the globe... and maybe even a sports fan or two. The as:Public software suite is here to power that, and so much more!
@GlowingLantern From context that seems unlikely.
Searching the GitHub repo for "search library" since 2022-1-1 finds no relevant hits: https://github.com/search?q=repo%3Amastodon%2Fmastodon+search+library+%3E2022-01-01&type=issues
There's also no mention in the official Mastodon docs that I can see:
Shoutout to @sebinthestars for running astrodon.social so flawlessly, and in particular for the quick update to Mastodon 4.2.0! I’ve already updated my profile to be searcheabke, hope that does not increase too much the CPU usage for the server!

Attached: 1 image Good morning y'all, I want #Mastodon to have the best #hashtag #search possible, so I knocked together the Big Mastodon Hashtag Search.
