Search Capability
|

-----------------

`draft` `optional`
|
|
|
|
## Abstract
|
|
|
|
Many Nostr use cases require some form of general search feature, in addition to structured queries by tags or ids.
|
|
Specifics of the search algorithms will differ between event kinds, this NIP only describes a general
|
|
extensible framework for performing such queries.
|
|
|
|
## `search` filter field
|
|
|
|
A new `search` field is introduced for `REQ` messages from clients:
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
...
|
|
"search": <string>
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
`search` field is a string describing a query in a human-readable form, i.e. "best nostr apps".
|
|
Relays SHOULD interpret the query to the best of their ability and return events that match it.
|
|
Relays SHOULD perform matching against `content` event field, and MAY perform
|
|
matching against other fields if that makes sense in the context of a specific kind.
|
|
|
|
A query string may contain `key:value` pairs (two words separated by colon), these are extensions, relays SHOULD ignore
|
|
extensions they don't support.
|
|
|
|
Clients may specify several search filters, i.e. `["REQ", "", { "search": "orange" }, { "kinds": [1, 2], "search": "purple" }]`. Clients may
|
|
include `kinds`, `ids` and other filter field to restrict the search results to particular event kinds.
|
|
|
|
Clients SHOULD use the supported_nips field to learn if a relay supports `search` filter. Clients MAY send `search`
|
|
filter queries to any relay, if they are prepared to filter out extraneous responses from relays that do not support this NIP.
|
|
|
|
Clients SHOULD query several relays supporting this NIP to compensate for potentially different
|
|
implementation details between relays.
|
|
|
|
Clients MAY verify that events returned by a relay match the specified query in a way that suits the
|
|
client's use case, and MAY stop querying relays that have low precision.
|
|
|
|
Relays SHOULD exclude spam from search results by default if they support some form of spam filtering.
|
|
|
|
## Extensions
|
|
|
|
Relay MAY support these extensions:
|
|
- `include:spam` - turn off spam filtering, if it was enabled by default
|
|
- `domain:<domain>` - include only events from users whose valid nip05 domain matches the domain
|
|
- `language:<two letter ISO 639-1 language code>` - include only events of a specified language
|
|
- `sentiment:<negative/neutral/positive>` - include only events of a specific sentiment
|
|
- `nsfw:<true/false>` - include or exclude nsfw events (default: true)
