Is it possible to search in nostr remotely? I'm building a lightweight client that doesn't follow the typical nostr approach of downloading everything from every connected relay to a device and doing search on top of the local data.

I don't see how this approach scales in the future.

You'd need a new filter type for text search

Do you know if anyone has proposed one?

It’s been discussed before. I expect third party services to provide this in the near future and provide APIs clients can use.
