Comment:

 I went ahead and implemented this feature, because it looked really easy
 and pretty useful.

 One thing I did differently than in the description above was that I
 didn't add new qualifiers for non-existent parameters like
 "nickname:gabelmoo".  If somebody wants to search for nickname "gabelmoo"
 they can just use the unqualified search term "gabelmoo".  Though the main
 reason behind this decision was that the "fingerprint" parameter works
 quite differently from fingerprints in the search parameter.  As a result,
 "fingerprint:abcdef0123" is not a valid search term either, but users
 should just keep using "abcdef0123".

 I still think this is a minor protocol change, because no current behavior
 is changed.  That's why I raised the protocol version to 1.2.

 Merged to master and deployed.  It's already usable in Atlas/Globe.
 Closing.
