The latter.  The two effects are sort of coupled: --long adds "desc" and 
"episode" to the search fields and adds "timeadded" (relative) and 
"desc" to the results display.  The listing of --long in two categories 
of the help text was fudged - only one option is used - which seems 
slightly goofy since --long always changes search behaviour and results 
formatting simultaneously.  Feel free to make it more intelligible.
