There's a lot of concern about search being used as a way to target individuals who say certain things.
So for example, if I say "trans rights are human rights", a transphobic harasser might have a search running on that phrase to find folks to target.
Hence the bias towards using hashtags to make posts discoverable if and when you want them to be.
I have mixed feelings about the current approach but I think any iteration will have to take that concern into account.

@eloquence@social.coop I'd just like a search capability that helps for inexactitude about name spelling and variances with capitalizations, spacings etc. For starters.
