Very good idea. In my opinion, the previous solution was fine, but this would make approval absolutely clear.

Yes, I've seen posts of mine on some strange sites despite indexing being turned off. You would probably have to post followers only to avoid that. Also, some servers won't update posts or bio. From that perspective, this search index sounds great. Still, I'll keep indexing off for now.

As long as it respects indexing preferences, it's fine. Even better than many crawlers. But an outcry is to be expected on Mastodon. Introducing quotes was very controversial too.
