I would be interested. I would join & contribute. I think lots of searches are “over-wrought” or “under-wrought” or odd or funny or faulty. It would be both fun & useful, I’m sure. This is related, I hope: I *think* I’m detecting that folks are using Systematic-Review-style super-diligent-searching when it isn’t, sometimes, necessary or required.
