[Bug 285050] Re: [Wishlist] Improvements to search in Adept3

[Sokraates]

Regarding 2):

I triaged this a bit and it seems that Adept3 searches for partial
matches in package names. However, only the first word in a package 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.

This is confusing and strange. Moreover I'm not exactly sure, I've
figured out the search behaviour correctly.

So the search behaviour should deffinitely be improved so that Adept
finds parts of any word, be it at the beginning, the end or somewhere in
between, in the package name and in the description.

This way the user will always find what he wants.
