Comment (by karsten):
Well, I wouldn't say that this is an Onionoo bug. Onionoo interprets
spaces in the search parameter as separators between search terms, and
search terms can optionally be prefixed with a qualifier.
In the first example above, `search=contact:Neel%20Chauhan` is interpreted
as "contains Neel in the contact line and contains Chauhan in the usual
fields we search for".
You could approximate the second example by using
`search=contact:Neel%20contact:Chauhan`, but that will also return all
relays that have those two strings somewhere in the contact line, rather
than just `Neel Chauhan`.
What we could do is support quotes in qualified search terms to include
spaces. That would be `search=contact:"Neel%20Chauhan"`. But how
intuitive is that? And would it produce new problems that I don't think
of right now? Or are there any alternatives that are more intuitive?
Hmmmmm.
