May I suggest that you repair your calendar? April fools day is 
tomorrow, not today. :)

More seriously: I don't see why there should be a difference in the 
results if I use find instead of search. According to the man page, find 
is an alias for search. Anyway, now that I know that the find option 
exists, I can save typing 2 characters when searching with apt-file.
