@healyn Besides intentional limitations it works well for me

@Gargron if i want to find two specific words from a previous posts, can i do that? maybe i just don't know how to use the search function well

@healyn Enter your words, and any posts you've made that contain all or any of them will come up. Surround your words with quotation marks to limit results to the exact way you've written them.

healyn

@Gargron it's not just posts you've made, it's posts you've interacted with, right?

healyn

@Gargron i've said a lot of words on this site, Eugen

Eugen Rochko

@healyn I'm not sure I understand what you're trying to do. What are you trying to find?

healyn

@Gargron i didn't think you'd see this post, and i'm not mad! a while ago i posted a saxophone/synth song that i liked, but i've posted a lot of stuff about sax and synth!

Eugen Rochko replied to healyn

@healyn At least in the web interface you can click "load more" if there's a lot of results and go through all of them.

I'm not sure I understand how e.g. Google or Twitter search would handle this better (for what it's worth, you can search your posts through Google by adding "site:mastodon.social healyn" to your search query)

healyn replied to Eugen

@Gargron Eugen, I was only making a joke, and this site is better than twitter imo. but you can search on twitter for posts containing certain phrases between certain dates by certain users. c'mon

Eugen Rochko replied to healyn

@healyn The sad thing is that you can limit your search by author and by dates in Mastodon as well, it's just not part of the web interface and I'm not sure if any app has added that functionality 😔

healyn replied to Eugen

@Gargron i forgot the first app i had on my phone. i was able to do that. this is only an issue for me when i'm like, "oh, what was that song i was thinking of?"

Eugen Rochko replied to healyn

@healyn The most feature-rich Mastodon app is Subway Tooter on Android, no doubt. Perhaps they have that.
