"Searching through email content in an end-to-end encrypted email provider is no easy feat. Because Skiff does not have access to any user emails, all search queries have to be performed client-side. To make this possible, we’ve developed innovative search indexing algorithms that work in the browser, in Skiff’s Windows and macOS apps, and in our iOS and Android native apps."

This article and interview do not I feel talk about searching for an identity though it certainly appears framed that way from the start.

The interviewer and subject talk about creating community spaces to explore shared values and learn how to be compassionate, caring people - in a safe space shorn of any dogma, doctrine, or guilt ...

I'm stoked that #mastodon has full text #search now!

But I wonder why they didn't implement a "to:" operator.

There's "from:" but that seems like something you could have just gone to their profile to see.

It's much more useful to see who is talking *to* someone.

Filed in 2020 under the #Trump admin, the case — US et al v. Google — focuses narrowly on the co’s popular #SearchEngine, alleging #Google used the tool’s 90% #market share to illegally throttle #competition in both #search & search #advertising.
But the #trial has more expansive implications for the internet giant’s #business ambitions. It is part of a broad reappraisal in DC of the common wisdom that the #internet is #open by nature &therefore can #SelfRegulate through #FreeMarket competition.

So, with the results in mind, I'd say Mastodon could use better searchability and maybe improved notifications to make it more accessible and usable for people who cannot check in several times each day.

"When you type something into #Google you’re looking for something. Google’s first order of business is to show you something *someone else* wants you to see; its second order of business is to show you what you want."`

In May of last year, shortly after the #Justice Dept issued a #subpoena to #Trump for all #ClassifiedDocuments at his #MaraLago estate, Trump's then-lead #attorney on the matter, #EvanCorcoran, warned the fmr president in person, at Mar-a-Lago, that not only did Trump have to fully #comply w/the #subpoena, but that the #FBI might #search the estate if he didn't, acc/to Corcoran's #audio notes following the conversation.

Just to be clear, this snippet is *wrong* and its sources are *bullshit*. The date it gives is 500 years wrong. And calling apologists "scholars" is wildly stupid.

After watching the usability of #Google as a #search engine continue its death spiral, and #AI polluting nearly every damn website in existence it may be time for us all to write #90s #Yahoo a sincere apology letter..
