@jalefkowit @Canageek @craigmaloney i don't think anyone has the impression it's impossible

but it doesn't have to be impossible for there to be benefit

if it is more of a pain in the ass it will almost certainly happen less often, and that's a good thing

@bea @jalefkowit @craigmaloney Nah. It will happen less often until someone writes a tool for it, then it will be common, and we still won't have full text search.

@Canageek @jalefkowit @craigmaloney that will be an unfortunate day!

when it comes though i hope i'm well enough to take pleasure from writing a patch that will fuck that tool up~

@bea @jalefkowit @craigmaloney As it has been explained to me, can't be done. Just download the timeline atom feed to your PC then run a search on it there.

@Canageek @jalefkowit @craigmaloney for now? sure

not hard to change the way that works to make it hostile to an indexer though

probably can detect such an indexer as well

like i said, i hope when the time comes i feel well enough to enjoy the challenge

other instances can do what they will including have fulltext search

but i won't have my instance being indexed for the benefit of anyone but my users i think

@bea @jalefkowit @craigmaloney So you'd have to break federation then, right?

@Canageek @jalefkowit @craigmaloney mm no, i'm pretty sure it can be avoided
