 So Meta's #Threads gets #search  capability. Just tested it out and it works as you would expect. 

Of course, implementing search on a *centralized* system *should* be a relatively simple matter.

Much harder in our decentralized Fediverse! 
 @9b033548 I was talking about this yesterday evening. Isn't the search capability in Mastdons pipe? Have you heard anything about this? 
 @9b033548 What would I expect? Some unhelpful algorithmic search order with ads and promoted rubbish? Or maybe that will come later. 😉 
 @9b033548 Threads is such a joke. I log in every once in awhile. All I see is celebrity post after celebrity post with no way of seeing anything from people I follow without the spam. I realize I’m not their primary demographic, but somehow they managed to make a less usable version of Twitter (at least it has lists and a chronological view so you can ignore the celebrity garbage).
