I can't find the search box in this interface.

@evan given how the "search" basically doesn't work for anything other than hashtags, I think it's misleading to have it called that anywhere

@stephenjudkins @evan That's not quite true; the search box is used to search for individual posts, too. At larger widths, Mastodon's search box reads "Search or paste URL". It's actually a crucial piece of functionality, as it's basically the only way to get your instance to load a remote post if it hasn't been shared or posted by anyone in your instance's network.

@dragfyre @evan ok, it's used to match hashtags and find external posts/users. I still think it's really misleading to call it a "search" function by the way most people understand it
