Bump search terms query to find at minimum 5 stars

I've noticed when I run a query via a search term, I will get A LOT of projects that don't have any stars. This causes the scripts to run at an unreasonable amount of time. In testing I've become accustomed to adding stars:>5 to the search terms query script in order to get relevant repos while at the same time making sure my script won't run forever.

Question: Does it make sense for us to make this a permanent change and add stars:>5 to to the search terms query?

Yes. That seems completely reasonable. In a majority of cases, I probably won't report a vulnerability I uncover if the project has under 100 unless the project is owned by an organization with a BB program.

Good to note. If you want to move it to 100 stars that works for me too. You have the experience here so I'll defer to you.

I wish there was a way to say 100 stars, except for these orgs with BB programs, then the limit is 5. Can we do something like that?
