@SecurityWriter Some folks tried to create an external crawler hooked up to a search box, but the backlash was so intense, they shut down the project shortly before launch.

So, if there are other projects like that, they're probably keeping it quiet.

I remember reading a while back that somebody from KiwiFarms created a similar tool, ostensibly to enable harassment, but just mentioning it got some people banned by some of the more sensitive masto admins.
