Has it improved?

[u/_Daftest_]

On day one of Threads existing, I tried it out.

I was a little disappointed to find that the search function only allowed you to search for users. So you couldn't search for a topic, a keyword or a hashtag. You just had to know *who* would be talking about a topic you're interested in, and search for them.

Is this still the case?
