+Describe your issue/feature request here (you can remove all this text). 
+Make sure to skim through the existing issues, your issue/request/etc may have already been noted!
+
+Also: we're very aware of problems with the search. That is, all problems or errors regarding search results (eg. no wildcards, 720 not giving results for 720p, no negations with "-" and so forth) are known and issues regarding them will be moot as we're rewriting search to use another engine altogether. We know! We know!
+If you believe you have something new to add, try to find an existing search-related issue and comment upon it instead!
