is for "General Terms", usable in many games. It serves the same function as having no icon previously, so now you can filter by them. 
is for "Other Games", a catch-all filter for a specific game that doesn't have its own dedicated icon. And 
is for "Commonly Used" terms. These important terms are used pretty often in normal FGC conversation and are especially worth knowing. - Removed a few terms that were duplicates of existing terms. Consolidated Overhead Attack with Overhead, Low Attack with Low, High Attack with High, Grab with Throw, Guard with Block, and Command Grab with Command Throw. These removed terms will link to their new places if you type them in the search box with some added context if necessary. Renamed Mid, Special Mid, Special High, and Special Low (removed "Attack") to be consistent with the new naming.
- Added Cloudbot instructions to the Bots page.

?q=as a possible URL parameter, mostly for some bot applications.
