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)

I struggle with this as well. Buoy is great for notifications, but I have a hard time finding past content.

I don’t know how to use buoy 🛟 well either. 

Fields vs search bar. 

User issue. But still.

It’s only been good for me when I look up the advanced features

Really? I’ve always found it to be really good

I agree with you actually would love to see native search improved since I need to use it all the time but also found that Twitter search itself is awful

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.
