Mastodon 4.2.0 brings a number of new options for searching. You can add special operators to filter what you search for:

has:media or poll or embed
language:fr or any two letter ISO language code
is:reply or sensitive
from:user or me (me is for your own posts)
in:all or library (library means posts you've interacted with)
before:date (YYYY-MM-DD)
during:date
after:date

Make sure there's no space after :

For example, to only show results with polls include the phrase has:poll in your search.

@feditips What's really cool is that you can combine them! 🤟

@feditips Could you describe if these features depend on instance settings? Could an instance prohibit the new global search serverside or will it just work for everyone everywhere?

@feditips So all we need now is for @mas.to to update its version - the web browser still shows v4.1.7

> language:fr or any two letter ISO language code

Hope one day `any 3 letter ISO language code`.

@feditips Mastodon v4.2.0 HORROR!
Wall of mirrors in notifications. Now including the very image i posted in every favour and boost. On and on. What a waste of computer power, and carbon - Its nice when someone favours a photo, but I have seen it already. Don't want to see it may be a hundred times over.. Better for me to turn off the very sweet spot of social media whatever kind or make. Wating for rapid delivery of v4.2.1

@feditips
Where are we up to in general with search?
I just tried searching for a random word "space" and got 10 results from the last hour, and that's all.

I've upgraded publicgood.social to v4.2.0 (confirmed on the status line) and everything seems to work... BUT... Search Conditionals are not available.

In the "Search" field, I see in the drop-down under SEARCH OPTIONS I see the text "Not available on publicgood.social".

Any thoughts?
