I am not well into this matter, but is it possible that it's the adoption of 'holocaust' that's triggering the ban, rather than the condemnation of Israel? Is 'gazagenocide' also against the rules?

I think a huge part of this is funding. To move quickly you need someone to be able to dedicate a lot of time. To do that, they usually either need someone to pay them to do it or they need to think that there might be a payout down the line. As long as the fediverse doesn't have a monetization scheme, you can't move quickly on anything. An API for search where people could then monetize their own third-party search solution could be a good step.

I suppose you could have a 'search this server' 'private' search, but for this discussion, I assume we're focusing on the fediverse as a whole, looking only for accounts that want to be found?

What are the valid points, and why are they easier to address with a client side solution? I'm a little bit of a data science guy, though I teach machine learning and not search algorithms :)
If an indexing service simply respected a server or account flag to be ignored, wouldn't that be enough? Or is it important that a specific account has different visibility to various searchers?

Well, we're not entirely alone, though perhaps a minority. Looking through my own interactions, I would loop @npub1sfq…cxv5, @npub1vmq…7a5e and @npub1vte…j338 into the conversation. Perhaps you know of others too?

I really want this particular discussion to become more coherent across the different people bringing it up. Is there a good hashtag for it, or should we invent one? #fedisearch?

I do not have time for a new hobby, but I really wanna get "back into" baking...

use it occasionally. it's very convenient when it works, but when it doesn't, it seems to fail in much more alien ways than other solutions.
