Comment(by karsten):

 The new [https://metrics.torproject.org/exonerator-beta.html ExoneraTor
 BETA] looks at exit lists in addition to consensuses.  The BETA version
 also changes a couple of other [https://gitweb.torproject.org/metrics-
 web.git/commit/10eb958d33de920cfbedb2cb9bfebf14f0334a0e things], and I'm
 waiting for some feedback before replacing the
 [https://metrics.torproject.org/exonerator.html current version] with it.

 Adding exit lists to the relay search will be much more difficult.  The
 relay search is mostly broken with response times of up to a few minutes.
 I think we'll have to design a database specifically for searching
 descriptors that is independent of the Metrics database.  Adding this
 functionality to the Metrics database and having to keep all descriptors
 that were published ever may not have been the best idea.  The two
 purposes of aggregating data for statistical purposes and making a huge
 amount of data searchable are just too different.  The new database should
 then support searching for IP addresses in exit lists, similar to how
 ExoneraTor does that.
