True, which is another reason I explore other clients
Try turning off Global and Public Chat with all public relays. I keep them on only with paid relays. It seemed to help performance and prevented crashes in earlier versions. It also makes Global readable which is nice.
I've turned off global on all relays and things still are listed in the search/global, not sure what is happening there. Better though.
