We've made several adjustments over the last few weeks to improve Buoy's search speed and reliability. 

We no longer index casts from spammy accounts. We're relying on @openrank to determine which accounts are considered spam or not. Going to try this out for a few weeks and see how it feels. If you notice anything off please let us know!

We've introduced a timespan filter which improves search speed greatly. New searches will default to the last 7d. 

We're in the process of migrating to a new infra provider that will also help with search speed.

we saw almost a 2x reduction in write pressure after excluding the top 32k spammy fids from our indexer
