the reason is that we can't index all the profile across the distributed network. the current design is to show your following list when you input @, one simple solution is to just index all the profiles in the local database? I think this can help reduce such problem a lot and we can see if there is a better solution

Indexing all profiles to the local database may not be very efficient. Perhaps we can consider retrieving profiles with the same prefix from Relay in real-time when entering text after “@”. I’m not sure if this can be done, but if possible, it should be a better solution.

1. right now not many relays support searching
2. from a design pattern, I would love a offline-first style for flycat. nostr app should be offline-first and treat relay as unreliable cache for data source. local database should be the first-class.
