 Just searching inside Amethyst. Trying to find old convos or messages seems to be a total waste of time. Trying to find a specific account, even when I follow them doesn't work well. Trying to tag people I follow in notes rarely works. I generally have to go to my messages, find the last interaction, go to their profile, copy npub & then paste it into the message to get tags to work. 
 Tagging people isn't really search in most apps, maybe @Vitor Pamplona could comment.

Search for old conversations is hard, unless you remember some very specific words being used - your searching is anonymous, we don't personalize it in any way to prioritise content closer to you. A filter by author could help, but the app would need new UI for that.  
 nostr dot band may help with searching. I haven't used it yet, but know about it as a way to search nostr

https://nostr.band/ 
 I made this app to make this easier to dig up old notes https://advancednostrsearch.vercel.app. I use it all the time. 
 Lol, already had it bookmarked, must have just forgotten about it. Thanks 
 Coracle also has similar search functionality. Coracle actually has more options to narrow down your search. I usually just use my search though since it's simpler and usually gets the job done for me. 
 Our search quality is entirely dependent on which relays are active for search in your relay list. Only nostr.band, relay.noswhere.com and nostr.wine support search. :(

One day we will have search on Citrine and then you can have a local search to use :)  
 Well thats something I bet most Amethyst users are unaware of....

 noogle.lol works sometimes for searching
