 I’m trying to understand, there currently no good way to search decentralized protocols? Like none? 
 try to find a specific note of mine mentioning word X from date Y only using damus, snort, coracle or amethyst

• don’t use any external search clients 
 Yeah doesn’t work. I’m no dev so forgive the dumb questions. 

I’m guessing you’re referring to not using nostr.band 

Why can’t that be used for search? 

What’s holding it back? 
 analogy: 

i’m saying that you wouldn’t go on google to find something that you’d want to find on twitter as you’re using it 
 Coracles search is pretty good.

I’m not very Smurf but why can’t this be used in clients:

 ☹️ I'm not very Smurf either. I really wanted to be one of them as a child. 🫂 
 😜😂 
 I understand. 
 you’re gonna make me code something 
 Outside of using NOSTR.band this simple thing is so hard to dom should be a part of every client imo 
 Why no external clients? That’s like every website trying to build their own crappy search engine when they could just plug into Google search. 
 Don’t threaten me with a good time 
 Nostr.band and nosWhere are decent tools, but need to be better. 
 I'm a fan of coracle as well. It's more I think it should be on every client. 

Finding a note you posted or someone posted is a basic function of any social media software
