the irony here is that discord quite literally has quantum state messages/posts, unless you NAIL the search perfectly, you're gonna get everything but the exact message you wanted. I mean sure the keywords make sense, but try searching for two or three keywords in a server with tens of thousands of message, or better yet, not knowing what specific keywords to use.

i can't tell you the amount of times i've tried searching for an embed with words only to realize that apparently, discord is completely incapable of searching through embed names.

Discord is alright as a chat platform, would actually be better if it were a universal platform base, like matrix, or get this, IRC. Not being stuck on a shitty broken electron app would nice from time to time.
