When there's a positive result to the question "Was there a Tor relay
running on this IP address?", we should not offer a subsequent form to
answer the question "Was this relay configured to permit exiting to a
given target?". This second search increases complexity of searches a
bit, and it's unlikely that people would interpret results correctly.
Instead, we can make a more general statement about a relay permitting
exiting or not. For example, the result could say "This Tor relay did not
access the open Internet at that time." or "This Tor relay did permit
transit of Tor traffic to the open Internet at that time." with another
link for further details explaining web traffic vs. other ports etc.
People who really care about a relay's exit policy summary or even the
detailed exit policy can look at the linked consensuses or server
descriptors. But it's unlikely that the average user cares.
