Full-text index Twitter threads/replies

Most of the stuff I'd save come from Twitter.

Currently, it looks like only the first tweet is saved/indexed. But I probably want to search the whole thread, and maybe even replies that have been loaded at the time I pressed save to memex.

Note: something probably similar may happen with comments on articles, should they be included?

Note: when we save a page, is there any way to access the underlying saved raw data?

Here for example, I'm not sure what has been extracted (only the page title? only the first tweet? only the thread? also the replies?), and it's hard to debug/understand/I may open an irrelevant ticket.

    If you save a tweet page (or any other page for that matter) it will index all currently visible text.

    Can you send me an example of a tweet you saved, which terms you were searching for and if that showed up in the results or not?

      Indexing all currently visible text feels sound.

      Any tweet seem to reproduce for me, does any work for you?

      Example: save https://x.com/gena_i_gorlin/status/1803903708834730422

      Search any word, common or rare that is in thread or replies but not in the first tweet, and it doesn't show up in results.

              This is live.

              Unfortunately it won't be retroactively fixed right now. But for any new Tweet it should work now.
