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 Great idea to have a poll, but how would you implement global text search without either massive overhead on all instances (distributed search) or a centralised service? (I'm still learning about the nuts and bolts of activitypub, so may have overlooked something obvious.) Also, blackjack!?
