Also re. decentralized search: Negatives are hard to prove so I'd be careful with "it's not possible". This here looks promising:

This can't be solved in a decentralized way, thanks for coming to my Ted talk.

Seriously, it can't be done, search is a big data business and that can't be done cheaply, even worse it is a natural monopoly, whatever search engine has the most compute will get the most users and if they advertise they get the most money to get more compute.

Nostr users who can't make peace with this will just leave, there is no such thing as decentralized search.
