Hello,

I would like to suggest an improvement to Holos' search engine.

At the moment, search operators commonly supported by Mastodon do not appear to be recognized by Holos. For example:

language:fr world
language:en world

On Mastodon, these queries filter search results by language while matching the specified keyword. In Holos, however, the same queries do not return the expected results.

It would be very valuable for Holos to support the most common Mastodon search operators, at least as a compatibility layer.

In the longer term, I believe Holos could benefit from a more powerful and modern search engine designed specifically for its own ecosystem. Until then, supporting Mastodon's search syntax would provide a practical and user-friendly solution.

Thank you for considering this suggestion, and thank you for your work on Holos.
