Here's a first: did a Google search on something and one of my own Mastodon posts came up as a result.

Beginning to think that the cultural norm here of not allowing search isn't going to last all that much longer.

@mmasnick Yes, but what was the latency? Anecdotally, it seems to take about 40 minutes to an hour to be indexed. But they can flip a toggle any time they wish. and presto, real-time search. And then, as some of us warned, the whole "do we or don't we do fedisearch will be moot." I think we're just about there.
