Announcement
Full text search is now live on many instances running version v4.2.0 !!!
It is "opt-in", meaning you need to check the "Include public post in search results" box to enable your posts to be searchable: Click Preferences (on right near bottom [gear icon]) >>> Click Public Profile (on left near top [person icon]) >>> Click Privacy and reach box (near top [lock icon]) >>> Under Search (scroll down middle of page)

I agree it's too hard to find.
- Asking should be part of the onboarding process. And strongly recommended at that.
- The Privacy and Reach section should be more visible and accessible in general.
- See how other pages expand under Preferences on the sidebar? The tabs in Public Profile should as well. Or even its own top-level link since privacy is so important!
I understand GitHub is a better place for feedback? Perhaps someone could share this there in my stead if needed
