Really missing search. I was in a conversation here about two days ago where I said something completely wrong, and I'd like to delete or reply-to-correct, but I have really no practical hope of finding it. (It was about the concept of "subtweeting", which I'd naively misunderstood until today.)

@sandhawke Any keywords in the original (Not replied to post)? I can search my DB for it and give you the URL for the notice.

@stitchxd keyword would be 'subtweet' or 'sub tweet' or 'sub-tweet'.

@sandhawke Alright - I will take a look right now, will be a few minutes. If the 'toots' / 'notices' went through my service, they will be in the DB, I'll let you know if I find anything.

@stitchxd It's not particularly important, but I'll be fascinated to see if this works. (I'm a huge fan of #Mastodon getting search. I know some people don't want it: https://github.com/swicg/general/issues/3 )

@sandhawke Well I will be searching in my server's database directly - which may or may not be controversial, but since you took part in the conversation, I am willing to return the data to you. :)

@sandhawke Unfortunately it looks like that conversation never touched my server.. I'm sorry - do you know the username and instance you were talking to at that time?

@stitchxd No, I don't. Thanks for trying. Maybe I'll use this as the nudge to write a download-my-social-history tool.

@sandhawke Honestly - a way to at the very least search your own toots/notices should be acceptable.

@sandhawke @stitchxd search would make sense. The Qvitter UI currently has it, but I don't think Pleroma does.

@bob @sandhawke Qvitter's search is pretty basic, I wanted to do a full search in the DB for the keywords. But alas the notice(s) he is talking about never touched my server. Mastodon should include at the very least a "search your own toots" option.

@stitchxd @bob @sandhawke Actually @moonman recently got a MUCH better search thing going (the spinx search thingy).  He needs to share, its so much better than plain mysql plaintext search in basically every way.
