How does diff relay behaviours impact search ?
For example, from nip65,
1. Write relay : notes created for your followers posted on your write relays
2. Read relays - read notes that you are tagged
3. push the write event to the relay list (wide list)
Say a paid relay does 1 & 2, but not 3, that would mean that, outside of your follower list, you can only read what you are tagged. And for spam control, you can’t see beyond 3rd degree followers. How would this impact search ?
My search just downloads everything from all relays and then when you search, it looks through everything. It doesn't matter what someone's read/write relays are, all relays allow me to read from them and get everyone's notes.
When you search, my relay skips spam by default, using trust rank. But that's not related to the relays.
That’s really good to know! I love your search feature and it’s just second nature to use it often.
Another Qs :
As for the names that’s visible on search, is it only your 1st and 2nd degree contact or all ?
The reason I ask is because I saw a contact I wanted to add last week but it’s a 3rd degree contact and I forgot about it. I can’t search for it this week. I spotted a few more I can view via other npub profile but not mine. I further experimented with new npub relay variations and same.
The variables that changed this week are that paid relays have changed the way they operate, client upgraded, you have upgraded , although I don’t think this is a search feature issue.
But just to be sure, would the 3rd degree connection restriction impact search on my end?
Search should show you everyone, except spammers. If you'd like to see them too, try adding "include:spam" on Iris/Snort, or use advanced search on nostr.band to turn-off spam filter.
Thanks #[6] . Seems like the problem is widespread a lot more feeling it across clients and likely relay related. Btw thanks for the command tips for search feature!
