https://docs-p.joinmastodon.org/admin/optional/elasticsearch/ reads:
"Mastodon’s full-text search allows logged in users to find results from their own statuses, their mentions, their favourites, and their bookmarks."
So, it's not everything I read, I need to have interacted with it (or vice versa). But indeed, a lot is now covered with the built-in search (which wasn't the case when #Tootfinder started).
Maybe @buercher can explain more differences?
@marcel @Natanox @jonny @buercher this is old documentation from before 4.2.0.
With the latest Mastodon releases, instances can work a proper full text search if they install a search engine such as ElasticSearch.
They should probably update that.
