Which apps do you use for search?
Discussion
Just searching inside Amethyst. Trying to find old convos or messages seems to be a total waste of time. Trying to find a specific account, even when I follow them doesn't work well. Trying to tag people I follow in notes rarely works. I generally have to go to my messages, find the last interaction, go to their profile, copy npub & then paste it into the message to get tags to work.
Tagging people isn't really search in most apps, maybe nostr:npub1gcxzte5zlkncx26j68ez60fzkvtkm9e0vrwdcvsjakxf9mu9qewqlfnj5z could comment.
Search for old conversations is hard, unless you remember some very specific words being used - your searching is anonymous, we don't personalize it in any way to prioritise content closer to you. A filter by author could help, but the app would need new UI for that.
nostr dot band may help with searching. I haven't used it yet, but know about it as a way to search nostr
I made this app to make this easier to dig up old notes https://advancednostrsearch.vercel.app. I use it all the time.
Our search quality is entirely dependent on which relays are active for search in your relay list. Only nostr.band, relay.noswhere.com and nostr.wine support search. :(
One day we will have search on Citrine and then you can have a local search to use :)
noogle.lol works sometimes for searching
