Comment (by karsten):

 Replying to [comment:7 cypherpunks]:

 terms, but I

 a.b.(c.)" - which implies that we might want a new `ip` url parameter?

 Yes, or maybe "address" to be more consistent with the field names
 "or_addresses", "exit_addresses", and "dir_address".

 We should also consider adding a "nickname" parameter.

 And we should extend the "fingerprint" parameter to provide the same
 functionality as passing a fingerprint or fingerprint part to the "search"
 parameter. At the same time, or shortly after, we can deprecate the
 "lookup" parameter. That latter part requires a major protocol version
 bump, the other parts do not.

 Do you mind opening tickets for these if you agree that these would be
 useful to have? Happy to discuss these new/changed parameters more, but
 preferably on new tickets.

 Agreeing with the rest, this ticket is ready for implementation.
