Honestly, here's how I search my own toots.
I use https://justmytoots.com/
I don't know if @cookie_mumbles is still maintaining it, but it still works!
It is *entirely* opt in, stores nothing of your content, and blocks search engines from crawling it.
It just looks at your server, and displays a current list of your toots.
You can adjust view options like: public only, with replies, or only media.

To search I just scroll *down* the page a lot, then use my browser to search the page!
My page looks like this:
https://justmytoots.com/@5ciFiGirl@starbase80.wtf
Or with replies:
https://justmytoots.com/@5ciFiGirl@starbase80.wtf?replies=true

To enable it, just put your handle at the end of the link like mine is, and put it in your bio. It will only display while that permission exists!
(If you specify *with replies* or *media only* etc, it will lock viewers to that, giving you more control.)

Ps, login is completely optional. It's really for viewing other people's feeds, if you want to like or boost from there.
Everything else functions with no login!
