improvement Diaspora* search engine

Why is this a vote? Isn't this a feature request to be filed at GitHub?

It at least won't be done unless it's filed at github.

It already has been filed at Github, long ago... see #2019 and #4287.

There's also an existing Loomio thread about it. So this is a duplicate in every sense.

Thanks for keeping us in line @goob!

(New here, and not really understanding the somtimes quite technical dialogs and various threads on similar subjects, apologising therefore, BUT as a new Diaspora user that likes to see the use of Diaspora increasing)
I can't find the answer on my question why searching is person ID and hashtag limited and why one cannot search fo any word (so search for words not hastagged).
I guess I am defintely not the first one to note this, and most probably (I assume) it may result from a deliberate policy / community choice to provide the search option for now as it is, but in the wiki or on the future development pages provided by Diaspora https://wiki.diasporafoundation.org/Current_and_future_development this issue IMO isn't clearly adressed.

Is there a specific URL where I can read the current vision on (limited) search options in Diaspora* and why one cannot search for single words without a #?

Again I apologise because the question may be very annoying for those who know, but that's exacty the point: how do you know why this is the case?

The absolute search consume many more recuros for a system like Diaspora is vital conserve resources, search taxonomies save memory and processes.

A absolute search engine for diaspora (only content and public users) is a very good idea (not consume resources pods), but it seems preferable to be done externally, an API would facilitate this.

ah, ok thanks for explaining Juan. I get the point now, hopefully a future feature then ;-)
