[Bug 263438] Re: Adept3: search does not provide expected results

[Sokraates]

I triaged this a bit and it seems that Adept3 searches for partial
matches in package names. However, only the first word in a packae name
seems to be recognized. E.g. "phy" will show phylip, "phys" will show
dphys-swapfile. "paw" and "paw-d" will show paw-demos, while "demos"
will not.

In the descriptions, matches are only shown for full words. E.g.
"physic" will show no results, while "physics" will give you a host of
them. As a further experiment, the package paw-demos is decribed as
"Physics Analysis Workstation ...". So to find it from the description,
one needs to search for "phsics", "analysis" or "workstation", while
"phsic", "analys" or "work" will not work.

Strange behaviour.

I've also filed a wishlist bug regarding search behaviour (285050).
