No, I'm not saying he depriortized it. The problem is he won't implement it.
By search I mean I should be able to search for a keyword or URL on all instances. There is no support for this. And, again, the issue is not technical. Its Eugene blocking it because he personally does not want the feature
Search on Mastodon is annoyingly restrictive, but you're never getting "full search across all instances". Remote search just isn't a thing.
Even fucking Google is local.
There's absolutely no technical restriction for indexing URLs and sharing which instances ' toots have that URL
"If I eat up a ton of bandwidth and storage, I can make remote content local" is fun until you're the one paying for the bandwidth and storage.
Indexes are small
