If you're using Amethyst, you set Citrine as your local relay and it will save a local copy of all your notes and replies. Set it as your private home relay and it will save your drafts and app settings. Set it as a search relay and you'll be able to search all your saved content. It's an invaluable tool that every Android user should run.

I set it as my search relay. How do I search my notes? I don't see any option in it.

Once you set it as a search relay, you just use your client's built-in search (the way you'd search for anything in the client 🔍) and it will use your Citrine relay along with any other search relays you have set.

But that searches all of Nostr. It's doesn't specifically search my profile.

I thought you meant i could specifically search my profile's notes.

Just remove your other search relays so that only your Citrine relay is configured for search. Then, your searches will be limited to your Citrine relay. You can put the other search relays back when you're done.

Backup and restoration of your followers list is useful if your list goes 💥, which happens from time to time.
