if you are gonna use SQL, why would you only implement nip-01 filters and not add full text searching?

and it's very easy to add full text indexing with SQL databases, to make it even more fancy

the point of simple filter queries is to make the relays lighter and faster

but i get why there's some value in more than that... full text search would be realllly useful, as would being able to create arbitrary queries like "has a OR b AND c" which you can't do with filters either, or even "a OR b OR c AND NOT d" such as "don't send me events from asshats on my mute list without me having to rewrite the relay to do that"

that's partly why that is already a standard feature on #realy - it doesn't send you messages from people you mute, ever.
