One of Twitter’s super powers is its search functionality. Farcaster’s search is offloaded to third parties rather than being a first class part of the client. That’s a shame. Bouncing a user out of the app feels like a big consumer no no. 

(Yes, I know mini apps aren’t technically a bounce out but it is bad UX just to search)

what would you like to see improve about native search

@farcaster dev / dad / books, cooks, ski, code ~ there are many things of which a wise man might wish to be ignorant

I’ll try this again. Didn’t get good results when I tried before but maybe user error. 

Usually only other filters are date range filters.

from:polluterofminds is supported and helps a lot in finding stuff

what other filters do you use from X

Better contextual matches. Most results actually seem to have nothing to do with the search phrase

Profile-specific searches. Like how Twitter allows me to go to a profile and search only that user’s tweets. 

Time frame matches, filters, etc. 

Right now, search is basically useless if you’re searching for casts. Searching for users and channels works fine.
