How do I get #Tootfinder to work on my toots? I would really like to be searchable. #MastoBrain

I followed the first step, and I put the word(length: 10)
searchable
in my profile/bio.
2. On the site there was a field where I could input my username
@example@example.com
I put in my username/address(mine, not the example) and I got a message:
"Magic word searchable found. From now on, you are indexed. Search for @shoppingtonz"
Oh, it was a multistep process...step 2, put full username in a field at https://tootfinder.ch/join.php
Ok, just did it!
"Magic word searchable found. From now on, you are indexed."

I'd like to join tootfinder.ch.
I see in your profile that you link to it but I did find your fedi address first on your site:
https://tootfinder.ch/join.php
If it only takes some minutes I'll be very impressed!

Covers 3 months of the latest toots?
This was it all along and I didn't find it...
sometimes search engines need to make themselves easier to find!
But I'm glad...
I'm glad that I finally found it...after losing it like 2-3 weeks ago!

#Tootfinder als brauchbare #Suche für #Mastodon ist tot.
"Index 128232 minutes behind"
Die frühesten Suchergebnisse beginnen im Juni und dann werden nur Posts von 3 Monaten gespeichert.

breaking ranks. Now I get it, the reason why I do not find my or others' recent toots on tootfinder.ch - the index is 65090 minutes, that is ~45 days, behind [as displayed on its search page]! And I also didn't know this: "makes them searchable for 3 months"
I will opt out of this, almost no usecase whatsoever. #tootfinder #tfr
It's been 0 Days since the Mastodon search capability has disappointed me.
I've had "Include public posts in search results" turned on for months now, but at least on my instance, it doesn't seem to find anything more than two days old. To verify, I've tried several words that are in toots from 3 to 14 days old, and none of them hit.
#Tootfinder appears to be down at the moment, but only covers ~3 months IIRC.
I think it is time to think about some institutional support for #tootfinder
It only holds toots for 3 month, Which is not enough. We need a good general crawler and a long term archive.
Any foundation out there with some resources left?

Hello. I just became aware of Tootfinder and JustMyToots due to your “bio” section, so thank you for mentioning them.

@Natanox @jonny Built-in #Mastodon #search is intra-site ("local"), #TootFinder is inter-site ("global", kind of like #Google for the #Fediverse , not just for your instance).
I.e., you don't need to remeber the user/instance where you read the post from…

Also, consider allowing #TootFinder to make your public posts globally searchable. I think it is a good thing to do, if you want to make information available to the public.
It's painless:
Include one of the keywords "searchable", " tootfinder", or "tfr" in your profile to express consent
Tell TootFinder to start indexing here: https://tootfinder.ch/join.php
(Just remove the keyword if you want to opt out again.)
Hi @buercher. Now that #Mastodon 4.2 includes the option to "Include Public Posts In Search results" right in the user config, are you planning to use the *indexable* flag for #TootFinder, instead of relying on tags in the profile description? #FullTextSearch #Fulltext #Search
Status Update:
Öffentliche Posts habe ich auf durchsuchbar gestellt, dafür #Tootfinder wieder deaktiviert.
Hello! You can make your toots searchable for #tootfinder adding `searchable` or other keywords to your bio.
