Search Meme Formats

Search memegen.link, the public catalogue of well-known meme formats, for a background, as the composer’s search box does. Nothing is added to the workspace: send a result to POST /meme-templates/import to use it. Anybody with a seat may search. memegen.link is somebody else’s free service, so this counts against the memegen-link-search budget as well (see “Rate limits”). Its catalogue is kept for a day and searched here, so a search seldom reaches memegen.link; when the copy is due and memegen.link is down, the last copy is searched. Only with no copy at all is it 502 upstream_error, when memegen.link times out, refuses or answers with something unreadable.
