Filtering yes, search, no. And a ton of attitude about implementing it. For context, I currently pay Nostr build $56 a year (90,000 sats) for 20 GB storage. You can't even search by filename.

When search?

Good to hear. Looking forward to it. It will be a big selling point.

I hear you, but I respectfully disagree. When paying for media hosting, search capability is a baseline expectation.

...Especially so for those who pay, or would pay, 69,000 sats/year for Pro, or 86,358 sats a year for Creator tiers.

It makes sense. And you can list it as another benefit to using your premium service.

Looking forward to it.

It will drive the costs significantly higher, and it will likely reflect in the account pricing. Infrastructure costs along (excluding maintenance and R&D, and implementation) will be on the 250K sats per month for search alone. So, as I said (so there are reasonable expectations) if/when I make data plane right and find an optimal way to index (media is not text), injest and maintain it, we’ll have it.

It's the wrong tone. I'm actively looking for an alternative and nostrmedia is shaping up to be an awesome alternative that basically implemented search after reading my back and forth with FC in a day.

Listening to customer FB is important if you value the future of the service you are trying to get Content creators to pay premium for.

FC can check the "If/when I do it, it'll be a pain and on my own terms and it'll cost more money than you're already paying a premium for, so it'll happen when/if it happens" at the door.

I like FC and I have been a big supporter of NB, and have sent many customers their way, but when a dev starts talking like that, I'm out.
