I took some time to work out the exact #formatting that #Elasticsearch demands. If you think this might be useful, go ahead and boost. If you find any errors or would like to suggest additions, please also post a reply!

Hopefully this can help prevent a lot of frustration and trouble people might encounter and give them a better Mastodon experience!

Mastodon Elasticsearch - Essential Search Formatting From:@joeybohij@spallone.somedomain Capitalizing the "F" returns posts you made that include @joeybohij (Search doesn't run correctly?) from:_@joeybohij@spallone.somedomain Putting a space between the colon and @ returns posts you made that include @joeybohij (Search doesn't run correctly?) from:@joeybohij@spallone.somedomain This returns posts from @joeybohij - assuming their posts are searchable from:@joeybohij@spallone.somedomain apple This returns posts from @joeybohij - assuming their posts are searchable, containing the word "apple" from:@joeybohij@spallone.somedomain before:2023-09-01 apple Elasticsearch uses the following date formatting: YYYY-MM-DD This returns posts from @joeybohij - assuming their posts are searchable, containing the word "apple" ", before September 1st, 2023 from:@joeybohij@spallone.somedomain apple before:2023-09-01 This returns posts from anyone before September 1st, 2023, with "apple" in it. TL;DR in Elasticsearch CAPITALIZATION is significant, SPACING is significant, DATE FORMAT is significant, and ORDER of search elements is significant! (And make sure to hit the blue "see all" once you've searched or only some results will load.) From @deltawye@mstdn.social - October 23rd, 2023 (Revision 2)
