Oy! So this instance is now running Mastodon 4.2 which among other things has a "search" that works more like actual search :) Y'all might want to go to Settings -> Public Profile -> Privacy and enable indexing of your posts.
@aras Thanks! Mostly I’ll be using this to search my own posts once I forget something useful 😉
@sinbad @aras Nice! It's about time Mastodon had proper search, rather than people screaming "USE HASHTAGS!" at everyone. 😁

@KeefJudge @sinbad @aras Have you folks managed to get multi term search working?

Current UI seems to need some improvements or I am just bad at this.

E.g. "from: @ashemedai" requires a space between : and @, otherwise no workee.

But doing something like: freebsd from: @ashemedai yields nothing

@asmodai @sinbad @aras Seems to work for me "from:@KeefJudge test" gives me a result, and "from:@KeefJudge" shows all my toots.
@KeefJudge @sinbad @aras Nevermind, I'm an idiot. >_<
Forgot that on fediverse I am actually using this account name, mind was stuck on the old one at Twitter.
