I hear you, but I respectfully disagree. When paying for media hosting, search capability is a baseline expectation.
...Especially so for those who pay, or would pay, 69,000 sats/year for Pro, or 86,358 sats a year for Creator tiers.
It makes sense. And you can list it as another benefit to using your premium service.
Looking forward to it.
It will drive the costs significantly higher, and it will likely reflect in the account pricing. Infrastructure costs along (excluding maintenance and R&D, and implementation) will be on the 250K sats per month for search alone. So, as I said (so there are reasonable expectations) if/when I make data plane right and find an optimal way to index (media is not text), injest and maintain it, we’ll have it.
