Anyone have good ways to search through lemmy posts? (lemm.ee)

Neither DuckDuckGo nor Google are particularly good at it, since you can't do something like site:reddit.com. How do you guye search or is this just an unsolved problem?

I use the Eternity client from F-Droid just for searching. It has extensive filtering support. It's very sad that it lacks maintainership, this fork of Infinity for Reddit finally got me to migrate from reddit during the exodus. It still works though and the search is wonderful.

Did you try Raccoon for Lemmy? I am using it now, and was an Infinity user some time ago.

I tried out Raccoon for a while, but I always accidentally up or downvoted posts while scrolling because it was super sensitive. So I switched back to Eternity (Nightly). But it may be fixed in the meantime...

Do they maintain it? Has the same level of customisation?

Thanks, I'll try it
