Adding broad search (beyond hashtags and local search) on Mastodon would be really useful.

But it could be used by bad actors to find users to harass.

Would you like to see expanded search features?

@conradhackett It would be nice to add a lot of these features while improving them for safety and security at the same time in order to allow down opportunities for harassment

@cupcakezealot @conradhackett I keep seeing people mentioning search opening for #harassment, but i dont see how it radically changes anything? People can still find eachother, their profiles, and instances - if you want for harass someone you easily still can, no?
