Because reads on the AT Protocol are open, Birdfeeder can pull your full Bluesky bookmark history and store the text of every post. That means the search box works across everything you have ever saved on bsky.app, not just the handful of posts still visible in your feed.
Bluesky keeps a plain list of saved posts with no search over it. You cannot filter by the person who wrote a post or look for a phrase buried in a thread. Birdfeeder indexes your archive with Postgres full-text search, so a few remembered words are enough to surface the exact post in an instant.
