Search on Mastodon is annoyingly restrictive, but you're never getting "full search across all instances". Remote search just isn't a thing.
Even fucking Google is local.
Ehem. https://masto.kukei.eu is not great but it is an honest work
There's absolutely no technical restriction for indexing URLs and sharing which instances ' toots have that URL
"If I eat up a ton of bandwidth and storage, I can make remote content local" is fun until you're the one paying for the bandwidth and storage.
Indexes are small
