Searchable Notifications

What feature would you like implemented? (Please give us a brief description of what you'd like.) A searchbar for notifications Why should we add this feature? (Please give us a brief description of why your feature is important.) This would allow you to find stuff in your notifications far better than the primitive filters we have today. You could for example find the replies from a certain person, filter by post, search the contents or type of notification

This may be difficult, with notifications being stored only in redis. You can't search a redis cache AFAIK?

true, but look at https://activitypub.software/TransFem-org/Sharkey/-/blob/feature%2F2024.9.0/packages/backend/src/server/api/endpoints/i/notifications.ts#L91

it's repeatedly fetching from redis, filtering, and leaving the loop once it's got enough matching results (or there's nothing else to fetch)

adding a query in there shouldn't be too complicated

ah, that should work. I'm curious about the performance impact of that in worst-case scenarios (many notifications, none match the search) 🤔
