nostr:npub12vkcxr0luzwp8e673v29eqjhrr7p9vqq8asav85swaepclllj09sylpugg apologies for the idiotic question, but I struggle with the search function on Primal. Listening to nostr:npub1az9xj85cmxv8e9j9y80lvqp97crsqdu2fpu3srwthd99qfu9qsgstam8y8 on nostr:npub1s5yq6wadwrxde4lhfs56gn64hwzuhnfa6r9mj476r5s4hkunzgzqrs6q7z discussing the sauna article in a recent podcast, I search “NVK sauna article” and just get one random result. Is it anything got to do with relays (or lack thereof) that I am connecting to? I always struggle with the search function here (maybe user error!)
Discussion
Primal users in a walled garden, they don’t got access to all of nostr, just the primal approved cached version primal serves up.
Move to a real nostr client, instead of a lightning wallet with social networking!
Whoa. I didn’t know this. I have mainly been using Primal. Well, damn. The wallet and zapping function being built right in is so damn good, though. It’s the feature that got me more connected.
searching is a bit of a mess
bookmarking is a bit of a mess

Live in the present moment of previously cached notes served up by your primal influencers.
Social media in general is never very good in search
the whole purpose is to have you stay searching for hours
at least here on #nostr there is no ads
Otherwise you know why the other platforms want you to keep scrolling for hours after that special thing you briefly had seen a couple of minutes ago, or worse a very interesting article you had seen 6 months ago
Search issues are wholly separate from primal only serving up the content they cache and “approve”
I just avoid using client built-in search entirely and go straight here:

I haven’t found search to be honed yet. I also have not found a client that has nailed it. Search may be hard across relays, which may not have a centralization of hosting, and may be more focused on the relaying? Unsure.
Hey! No dumb questions. Primals new update will include a read section to see creators long form work. Lmk if this link to the article works 🫡
Not working.
