Most people do want their land to be found. Newbs don't understand that
"anyone" really means "list this in search right away". If there were a
search check box, it would communicate to them that it would be listed
in search too.
It could default to "on", I just said "default to off" to try to get
more buy-in from the anti-land bot people. When it's actually
implemented, if it "accidentally" got defaulted to on, I think we could
deal with that bridge when we get to it. :)
It would still be an improvement.
