Fedizens, what is the #fediverse microblogging platform that has the best support for text search? ("Search" as in searching your own past posts). I am kind of dissatisfied with both platforms I use (Mastodon, Epicyon) because I sometimes want to go back and find older conversations, posts, DM/PMs and stuff.
I understand it requires loads of resources if you want to implement full text search for the entire history of posts, including full threads with replies posted by others. Not really feasible for those who run smaller or single user instances.
This is one of the things I frequently do on Twitter. Go back to old posts (sometimes years old posts) and threads and revive them in a new context. I wouldn't know if a post or a thread will end up that interesting or relevant to me when I post them. And I wouldn't want to add hashtags and make them unnecessarily visible to the entire network all the time.
Just thinking out loud.
Boosting this as I try to narrow down my choices to the most realistic and manageable ones.
Important update : It turns out that #Epicyon does support full text search of your own posts! I was just told that using an ' (apostrophe) right before the search string indicates a full text search.
A hidden gem or a not-so-well-documented feature in Epicyon. For example, if I want to find my posts that mention WordPress, I should enter 'WordPress in the search box. If I wish to find out my posts about "colours and composition", I should enter 'colours and composition.

@lohang Maybe we must use the apostrophe in the mastodon search box, too.
