I'm one of the people who's really missed full-text search, especially from academic and public health twitter, but I've only wanted it here if it can be done in a safety-preserving way.
It looks like search is on the way, with an "opt-out" via account discoverability, currently labeled "Suggest account to others" in preferences. I hope to see clear official comms soon about the details, but in the meantime, here's how to opt out:

I will clarify here that despite wanting search, I don't have an opinion rn about whether this implementation of search is the right one.
What I will say is that I'm on the side of moving steadily but cautiously and doing lots of advance communication with site users when something big is changing.
