peertube uploading/viewing capability is adequate.

https://search.joinpeertube.org/ aka Sepia Search unfortunately is insufficient. It brings up irrelevant results because multi-word searchs return "UNION set" results instead of the intended "INTERSECTION set". For example if I plunk in "rust programming" into the sepia search, it returns "rust" OR "programming" results. It should be returning "rust" AND "programming" results.

I wish for peertube to succeed, but it needs more work especially with the KEY "Sepia Search" https://search.joinpeertube.org/ capability which provides a one-stop shop for searching ALL INSTANCES for relevant content, but as it stands it's too noisy returning too many results that I don't want to see.

Thank you for listening.

I want to use peer tube but the instances don't seem to federate enough so finding new content is so hard. I'd rather they federate with 99% of instances and I'll block the videos I don't want to see.
