You can say anything on Nostr ... because the search is broken and no one will ever find it again!
Discussion
It's definitely yelling into the void, besides a few big names
Salty John graces us with his profound insights once again. Thanks JOHN!

I mean bro, have you used the search in these apps? I am just a user trying to use this thing...
I use it all the time. What's your biggest issue?
It cant find things unless you choose weird settings, and even then you cant find things you know exist
Yes.
It's actually propagation and shadowbanning problems.
If you nadar your posts, you might find as I did that they are reaching maybe 5% of existing relays!
primal search is solid
we will make it better
It really is not. I have been primarily trying to use Primal for months on desktop and mobile. There are multiple issues making it not serve everyday use. I often go to other apps to try and get other results. Each app fails to find some things, fails to return anything at all sometimes, and requires tricks to work at all.
It probably isnt just a primal issue, could be data propagation, etc.
But sincerely, it is far from solid for someone trying to use it daily.
Here is mine. It shows only posts made from that account, note the 7month gap.
That post i replied to today, shown at the top of the screenshot, from bfgreen, i could not find it searching 3 different nostr apps

thats a different account with a 7 month gap between you mentioning pubky

Right, but it is a generic search from the Primal app i have on this phone. Not a profile search.
If i pull it up on desktop it is just broken a different way anyway
Please stop with scrolling vids i am gonna puke lol
Well it works for you so i guess there is no problem and primal is perfect!

It is totally broken for some people, so I won't be referring to it as solid, but I understand why you would.
Here is another, showing some settings and the output. Premium feed? It is a narrower search with few returns!


it is reflecting your own suck back to you. its magic 🪄
And try finding this post without using the id, i couldnt do it in Primal, Damus, or Yakihonne

You can search efficiently on pubky... because there are only 200 total posts.
Just having a laugh 🤙
You can't search on Pubky at all right now!
But you can filter the graph by keys and tags :)
Still learning a bit about the differences. Got a video on DHT queued up for future viewing. Tagging is cool for sure.
Enjoy your pot stirring smh
