  @rglullis@communick.news A little bit, yes! There was a recent thread in the community I posted to where a discussion about the rather lacklustre search of various software took place.

    I understand where you are coming from: search is not easy, but at the same time I think we already have solutions that are “good enough” and doesn’t require a ton of work from the developers. PostgreSQL FTS works well enough to power the search system for Lemmy and it works out-of-the-box, for example.

      Heck even SQLite has full-text search built in, which is mind-blowing
