I won't write a huge toot but whooooooooaaaaah I could write a hell of a long tooooooooooot!
@globcoco Wow, welcome Coralie! 😄
@globcoco It is one of the many perks we have here at Qoto. Full text Search is another -- and I can easily find things I wrote 6 months ago, using a keyword or two.
Most instances don't have that.
@freemo is our admin and a competent one. It's thanks to him and his dedication that we have all that. Boos, meet a new member, a fellow Writer I just invited. 😄

I thought the search part was a thing from Pinafore and it is a pretty cool feature!
@design_RG @freemo Is it possible to use it without using too much resources?
@globcoco
It depends on the size and traffic on the instance, and how powerful their system is. I know one, which is a very fast one, small userbase but does not enable this, sadly.
We can always ask, as it's a great help.
And -- you can also do a search here, in one Pinafore Tab, logged into Qoto, find the link you need -- then jump into another tab and use it in an instance without full search.
@design_RG @freemo
I don't know if I understood this well😜
Ok -- how to :
* Pinafore in one Tab, with Qoto selected as the active instance. Call this Tab 1.
* Pinafore in a second tab, with [other instance with less Search power] loaded as active instance. Call this Tab 2.
If you need to find something from a Text search do this :
* jump into Tab 1. Select Search.
* Do it, and you will find any results Qoto has on file. Aha -- there it is.
* click on the Dot menu on that result post
* and select "Copy link to Toot"(screenshot added here).
Now you have the URL for that relevant toot!
* jump into Tab 2, and use it.
* you can insert the URL into Tab 2 Search field
* it will retrieve the Toot, and now you can Boost, Reply, Favourite, etc.
Or simply insert the Toot URL you already got, from Tab 1, into a new post or reply in Tab 2.
Voilá, c'est ça.

Nah our search is basically just a configuration option in mastodon.
What makes us unique is we have something like 2+ years of search data and we never clear our cache. So we have way more to search than other instances.
