Search on Mastodon is annoyingly restrictive, but you're never getting "full search across all instances". Remote search just isn't a thing.

Even fucking Google is local.

There's absolutely no technical restriction for indexing URLs and sharing which instances ' toots have that URL

"If I eat up a ton of bandwidth and storage, I can make remote content local" is fun until you're the one paying for the bandwidth and storage.
