Comment:

 The benefit of having qualified search terms in Onionoo is that
 applications like Atlas don't have to provide their own extended search.
 And if they had, they'd probably all doing it differently, making it
 difficult for users to switch from one to another.  There's a reason to
 have this code in a single place.  And if an application like Atlas wants
 to do things differently, they can just do it.  Atlas could simply filter
 all qualified search terms and process them differently before passing
 parameters to Onionoo.

 I'd rather want to improve qualified search terms rather than take them
 out because they're not powerful enough.  Closing as won't fix.  Thanks
 anyway for putting in the thoughts, and feel free to open tickets for
 making qualified search terms more powerful.
