In Tor Metrics / Relay Search, users are able to enter the digital fingerprint of a bridge to run a successful search and display the data about that bridge, but the Relay Search page states, "If you are searching for a bridge, you will need to search by
At https://metrics.torproject.org/rs.html, the page contains the caveat, "If you are searching for a bridge, you will need to search by the hashed fingerprint. This prevents leaking the fingerprint of the bridge when searching."
However, when users enter the //digital fingerprint// (not the //hashed fingerprint//) of the bridge in the Relay Search / Query bar, the search successfully will display data about the bridge.
If Relay Search leaks bridge fingerprints when users use digital fingerprints (not hashed fingerprints) to run successful searches, we need to reconfigure Relay Search so that it will be restricted to using only hashed fingerprints to search for bridge data.
Furthermore, the hashed fingerprint of a bridge must be made visible to the user by appearing in the //torrc// file, i.e., the //hashed fingerprint// is not visible and does not appear in the torrc file when using Tor Browser 8.0.8 on macOS Yosemite 10.10.5. Only the //digital fingerprint// is visible, appearing in the torrc file.
