Comment (by cypherpunks):

 Replying to [comment:8 karsten]:
 > Well, the idea of using (double) quotes for qualified search terms
 containing spaces would work.  I'm just not sure how intuitive that would
 be.  And somebody would have to build it. :)

 I assume this would require an onionoo change (I guess this is less likely
 to be implemented).

 > Another option would be that Atlas provides an extended search of some
 kind where it has inputs for other parameters than Onionoo's `search`
 parameter.  For example, there could be a contact input field, and Atlas
 would simply pass anything in that field to Onionoo's `contact` parameter

 ok, so the option with the least amount of effort would be the
 contactonly:...
 option to tell atlas to ask
 ​https://onionoo.torproject.org/summary?contact=...
 instead of
 ​​https://onionoo.torproject.org/summary?search=contact:...

 since it does not require any atlas UI changes.

 I have no opinion on how this is actually done as long as the use case is
 possible.

 Either way the implementer decides - as usual, I hope there will be one.

 It is somehow sad that you can use atlas to make a powerful search over
 many fields but you can not make a simple search using a single field if
 your searchterm contains a whitespace.
