Alex is exposing the primal search to all nostr devs

I think the reason they are so good at it is they are actually indexing and storing notes on their own server, not just searching relays and hoping they find them.

Correct. And this new gateway relay uses Nostr standards, opening that search up to every dev that wants to add it into their app. It essentially sits in front of Primal and translates centralized data into Nostr data.

This is cool, we need better search.

Sacrificing UX for even more centralization isnt the answer. This is so dangerous, I refuse to use any client that has this implemented
