So then it’s not really a functional search.
Discussion
You can sort search results by chronological or reverse-chronological order. In combination with `since:` and `until:` this should get you quite far in narrowing things down.
Thanks! I didn’t know how actively this was being developed. Always encouraging to see better search tools being built. We’ve been struggling without them.
One part of this particular puzzle is data availability, i.e. users will have to either pay for archival services (read: large relays) or run their own [archival] relays for the stuff that they care about (mostly their own notes, and notes they have interacted with).
nostr-relay-tray and similar efforts are a step in the right direction. I mention nostr-relay-tray specifically because it supports NIP-50 search out of the box, which is fantastic.
One step at a time…
nostr:npub1xtscya34g58tk0z605fvr788k263gsu6cy9x0mhnm87echrgufzsevkk5s mentioned a few days ago that nostrdb could be used to build a Nostr Time Machine and presumably a contextual advanced search, but I’m not familiar with how it works.
I'm building ants (and boris) on the side, just for fun, just for myself. If it doesn’t work for you that’s too bad. Feel free to fork it and implement any and all features to your heart’s desire. In today’s day and age most features are just a prompt away, and I’d love to a proliferation of forks. If something is done in good taste and useful, I’ll merge it upstream.
