 Example:

 https://onionoo.torproject.org/details?search=Unnamed&limit=4&fields=nickname

 Specification says:

 > Relay nickname consisting of 1–19 alphanumerical characters. Omitted if
 the relay nickname is "Unnamed".

 I think I would prefer to fix the specification than to fix the Onionoo
 behaviour, as it's useful to have only one code path in Relay Search
 instead of more code paths depending on whether or not the field is
 present.
