You can find a nice page about search on Mastodon made by @vmstan@vmst.io here: https://docs.vmst.io/infrastructure/search Merging this PR is only the first step, and we know there are probably bugs, things that do not work as expected, or missing features. This is not the end of the journey and there will be improvements! Please open Github issues if you see any problem related to full text search (once your instance has it) Also, multiple people asked if alt texts are indexed, and I can confirm they are 👍

@renchap@oisaur.com thanks for the good work here. I expect it’ll be very popular.

@renchap@oisaur.com @vmstan@vmst.io can you withdraw consent (ie. "Opt back out")? How long does it take to push that opt-out and scrub across the federation?

@renchap@oisaur.com @vmstan@vmst.io Thx for the heads-up. I am mainly only interested in my posts being searchable *by me ONLY* (rather than publicly searchable by others), which the article above seems to say is an optional setting per instance? If that's the case, how can I tell whether an instance has this "own posts" option enabled (other than trying it +seeing if it works)? ...and what version is this "own posts" search available from (v4.2.0 also)? Thx again.
