Multiple questions regarding Kbin (fedia.io)

Hi, as a new Kbin/Mbin user, I have some questions regarding its use. I hope you can help me out.

Can searches be made more specific? On Lemmy, you could define whether you wanted to search for communities/magazines, threads, comments, users and urls. Furthermore, you could search in only a specified community or posts made by a specified user. Lastly, you can change the result order (newest/controversial/oldest).
To send toots/tweets, do I have to specify a magazine? I seem to be unable to send a toot without specifying a magazine first, although I only try to adress a mastodon user directly.
Is this even the right magazine to ask these questions in? Is there a dedicated kbin support magazine?
On Lemmy, users can send each others direct messages. It seems like Kbin/Mbin has no way of displaying those direct messages. Is that correct or is there a way to show direct messages?

Thanks for taking the time for your long message. I tried searching for this topic on my lemmy alt. This topic did not show up on either my fedia account, nor the kbin magazine at first, but does now. One more oddity I noticed is that the mbin UI did not hotlink your mentions, but the lemmy UI did so correctly.
