Some people have higher expectations and needs than single word matching.


Discord does support other search features. It would be nice to have a wildcard search, for sure--but, in my experience, even on busy and large servers I very rarely can't narrow something down to what I was looking for with `from` and `in` along with not-just-single-keyword matching.

But also, it's chat, so I don't really care if on the once-per-month I use the search I have to think about it for a second, because all the other stuff is there and it's good.


It’s amazing someone just doesn’t connect an existing open source search to it

Oh wait they’re probably using nosql


They're using ScyllaDB, which is indeed a NoSQL database. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S2xmFOAUhsk

Their main consideration is latency, not search.


At least they're large enough that that makes somewhat sense.
