 The discussion in #21366 made it clear that qualified search terms aren't
 as good as the regular parameters.
 * They are a weak duplicate of functionality offered by the regular
 parameters.
 * There is no support for spaces unlike the regular parameters.
 * Not all parameters are supported as qualified search terms.
 * It places too much functionality into one parameter (look at the size of
 the search parameter paragraph compared to the other parameters at
 https://onionoo.torproject.org/#methods).

 FWICT the regular parameters offer more functionality than the qualified
 search terms so the later can safely be deprecated without loss of
 functionality.
