We can make the "abuse-c:" attribute inverse searchable. But what is the
use case? What question do you want this query to answer?

whois -h whois.ripe.net -i abuse-c crew-ripe

What this will tell you is what objects in the RIPE Database have an
abuse-c with the value crew-ripe. It is a list of objects that this
abuse handler is responsible for.

It is the opposite of the Abuse Finder. This says I have a resource, now
tell me who is responsible for the abuse handling. You are saying I have
an abuse handler, now tell me what resources he is responsible for.
