Mastodon lacks a lot of basic features, like full text search.

It actually does have that nowadays, it's just that the feature requires Elasticsearch to work, which is one extra piece of infra for admins to worry about.

It is about as common as using a database server for content though to use something like ES, Solr or similar software for search.
