The latest version of Mastodon (4.2.0) brings full text search, so you can search by words instead of hashtags.
However, for privacy reasons this only includes posts by people who have actively opted into full text search.
If your server is updated to 4.2.0 and you want to opt into full text search:
1. Log into your server's website
2. Click your profile icon
3. Click "Edit Profile"
4. Click tab "Privacy & Reach"
5. Tick box "Include Public Posts In Search results"
6. Click "Save Changes"
@feditips Do you know if this includes boosts (that would be terrible) or only posts (and replies?) I made?
It applies to posts that your server can see which were written by people who have opted into this system.
No one's posts will be searchable unless they want their posts to be searchable.
So, it would only apply to boosts where the person writing it has specifically opted in to being searchable.
@feditips Aaaahhh, of course, that makes sense! Thanks for the explanation! ^__^
