It’s excruciatingly obnoxious to have to rely on third party sources for what should be a first-party feature.

Like, I select all and then search a query. “Oh no, nobody on your server used a third party service to find it, so you won’t see it here.”

Like, how short-sighted is that, really? If I search for a string in the ‘all’ servers, I should have a list of ‘all’ the servers containing that string.

It’s a really simple concept. Not sure why this post even has to be made, but I’m wondering if there’s something I can do to make these ‘features’ more intuitive.

    ‘All’ to me means “”“all”“” the servers my instance can connect to that contain that string.

    It’s a very simple concept.

      It’s just not very simple, quite the contrary, you would need to have a server park like reddit has it to store everuthing on every instance, the databases would be so big that you would need specialosts running just the database servers.

        Oh yes, it really is.

        The implementation may not be easy, but the concept is very simple.
