Comment on Lemmy wouldn't really takeoff to replace Reddit until it's content is search indexable

It does suck, that even within the apps or sites themselves, the search only gives communities.
Like, not being able to search for specific issues, people, or any other topic already posted even within your own instance is my biggest issue with Lemmy not being a sufficient replacement.
Like Reddit was the best place on the internet to go when was stuck with a Linux issue for instance. And rarely even having to post. Just searching the issue would generally get you fixed. Then we could start copying all the invaluable information over here from our communities efforts, and could then be truly free of Reddit once and for all!

The search page does allow all of this.

You can filter by type (post, user, community, etc), Local/All/Subscribed, searching within a community, choosing a sort option or restricting to past year/month/week… I think it’s much better than Reddit’s search.

To add on to that, Thunder have implemented all these search features in the app.

My bad, but good to know. The Jerboa app is almost all I use currently since I’m without a computer ATM. Do any of the apps do better with search?

Voyager is great.

OMG, Voyager is SO much better! Not sure why I hadn’t tried it

I haven’t used Jerboa in a while, but I know Boost supports almost all of the search features
