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

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.

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

what other filters do you use from X

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.

cool i’m agreement we need to improve here
