Why don't you build it then? Technically should be trivial.

Relevant conversations moving off Discord is what's really needed and where I think effort is better spent though.

I can't find the page now but iirc someone had attempted the same idea and got some serious backlash from the communities/servers scanned and eventually shut the project down. I agree, though, that discord really needs to be searchable; at least project pages and the like.

Project pages and the like don't belong on Discord.

An appropriate indexer would obviously distinguish between those and actual semi-private chats (where I assume backlash came from). And would probably get shut down after a while anyway either by being banned for ToS violation or the maintainer quitting because maintaining such project gets grating enough anyway at some point.
