Q&A Why does searching with answers:0 still show ANSWERED questions?

By default the search also finds answers, and since there are no answers attached to those (you cannot answer an answer, after all), it shows them as well. To get rid of them, specifically ask for...

Q&A How to deal with reactor if the reactor is no more or he thinks the post is still bad?

Maybe reactions on earlier versions to the post should be marked as such, with a way to see the version they referred to. Also, maybe it is a good idea to have for each reaction also the opposite ...

Q&A Should we start displaying the score of a post instead of the raw votes?
