I actually haven't yet, it's just easy enough to manually prepend the subject for now, if I skip the search URL. šŸ¤£ I'll do it properly eventually.

@anth Ahh! šŸ¤£ iā€™m actually considering adding an amendment to that specification removing the need to specify fully qualified URL /cc @lyse

@prologic @anth Sounds good to me, but this comes with a pentalty on discoverability.
@anth @lyse Yeah it does I think. Can we explore this a bit more?

Sure. I think search, if it's going to exist, should be the client's responsibility. But I also value the readability of the raw twtxt file a lot more than y'all do.

@anth I still think if I spend some more time and finish the search engine that I have half written and deploy it then yeah we could just simplify the hashes just to their raw text non-intrusive form.

@anth +1 on plain text readability! twtxt is a completely different beast without it.
@prologic @anth I need to sleep on this, but so far it doesn't sound too bad.
