Oh, the single, shared built-in search function in mastodon, pixelfed, misskey, lemmy, friendica, peertube, diaspora, castopod, writefreely, &c?
Please, the fediverse is more than [platform you’re currently using].
Comment on is there a search engine for the fediverse?

The built-in search function works quite well I would say

The UX is a bit funky, but the results are good.

The disclaimer at the end of your comment doesn’t render properly. At least, on Thunder

Yep, it’s an issue with your client.
You’ll need to bug the Thunder client devs to support superscript and subscript fonts, per these Lemmy.World instructions.

The fediverse has a built-in search engine?
I can only comment on my experience searching for communities in lemmy and people to follow on mastadon, but in both cases I am not sure I’d say “works quite well” would describe my experience.
But also that’s not what I think OP was talking about.
They want a search engine for a random fact like google. It’s been long true that you need to add “reddit” to the end of any google search to find the info you needed.
It’d be nice to have a fediverse alternative.

For communities, lemmyverse.net/communities is probably better.
I use the built-in search engine for posts, and usually the results are relevant and accurate
