This setting automatically added the `-status:deleted` metatag to all searches. This meant deleted
posts were filtered out at the database level, rather than at the html level. This way searches
wouldn't have less-than-full pages.
The cost was that searches were slower, mainly because post counts weren't cached. Normally when you
search for a tag, we can get the post count from the tags table. If the search is actually like
`touhou -status:deleted`, then we don't know the count and we have to calculate it on demand.
This option is being removed because it did the opposite of what people thought it did. People
thought it made deleted posts visible, when actually it made them more hidden.
This directory contains library code used through Danbooru. This includes things like defining API clients, dealing with
sources, parsing tag searches, storing and resizing images, and so on.
Many of the files here use the Service Object pattern. Instead of putting complex code in models or controllers, it goes
here, in plain old Ruby objects (POROs). This keeps models and controllers simpler, and keeps domain logic isolated and
independent from the database and the HTTP request cycle.
