The ISP shouldn’t even see the search term given basically everything on the internet uses https.
The ISP will see the domain names of the pages you visit if you use their DNS or some other unencrypted DNS but those are unlikely to contain the search term.


The closest we had to this was blockchain web 3.0 and that was a complete trash.
Adding a stripe or PayPal panel to your fediverse thingy really doesn’t structurally change anything about e-commerce.
1000s of small instances individually dealing with Mastercard doesn’t sound like a good time for anyone.
And other than that there’s just more localized payment standards. Maybe that’s fine but there’s reason SEPA isn’t even dominating e-commerce within Europe. From a customer side it’s a vastly different experience store to store, and in most cases not a good one. It’s also not nearly as easy to integrate into an online store as stripe.
On a less negative note, watch what zkat is building. They started something during the itchio debacle. I’m not super optimistic how much can be done in regards to commerce without addressing payment but maybe they see some path I don’t see.
