Would this work, say, if one instance were to defederate from the instance you're registered on?
No it won't. You will have to go to that federate directly and make your search.
That's a great question. I honestly don't know. I can't check rn because my instance hasn't blocked any yet (on mobile so I'm pretty limited atm). I'll try to check later, but I'm guessing it's a "no."
It would be nice if there were a way to search fediverse-wide. Being able to type a question + reddit into a search engine is such a good troubleshooting tool.
I suppose it could be worth it to have a datahoarder/archival instance for posterity. It crawls and federates with everything, denies deletion requests, and gets used just for searching/indexing the rest of the fediverse
