When I tried it in the past, I kinda didn't take it seriously because everything was confined to its instance, but now, there's full-featured global search and proper federation everywhere? Wow, I thought I heard there were some technical obstacles making it very unlikely, but now it's just there and works great! I asked ChatGPT and it says this feature was added 5 years ago! Really? I'm not sure how I didn't notice this sooner. Was it really there for so long? With flairs showing original instance where video comes from and everything?

If OP asked when global search was implemented the answer is 5 years ago. If they asked when SepiaSearch became the default index then sure, ChatGPT was wrong, but I'd bet they asked the first question

No one said anything about the default URL. It's the default search engine, as opposed to only searching locally.

Agree to disagree, I suppose.

Add SepiaSearch URL as default search index

I updated my weird wording but.. you and they said something about the default [index] URL
