Mastodon instances can’t possibly win the battle against spam nor moderate effectively with the depth and nuance needed without full search. Full search of public posts can enable so much tooling to look for duplicate accounts, duplicate content, keyword spammers, casino spammers and more.

Not having search is restricting not just user functionality but impeding the ability of instances to be able to moderate and assure safety effectively.

Which is why we’ve long since added search. :)
