In many of the “what should Nostr do next” threads over the past few weeks some users have noted search isnt great across Nostr.

This morning our team looked up the relays that support NIP50 - the search NIP and there are some but very few of the major ones folks connect to support search.

We have built our relays on strfry which prioritizes speedy return of npubs rather than indexing.

Curious if folks are relying on something other than NIP50 for search?

Also curious what is or is not motivating implementation of NIP50 amongst relay managers?

I think mostly everyone uses the nostr.band relay for search. That’s what I used for the search I built and my search doesn’t work when nostr.band goes down. 🤷‍♂️

It seems like as a network we’re missing the opportunity to build more resilience into the system. We’re also asking a single relay to do a lot of heavy lifting.
