I was reminded by another post here that there's been a change that<br>
bothered me when I went from 14.04 LTS to 16.04.<br>
<br>
I seem to remember that if I was displaying, for instance, installed<br>
packages, then if I further did a search, the search applied only to those<br>
installed packages, not the entire universe. As things now stand, my<br>
search results are often so numerous that it's very hard to locate the<br>
things I'm really interested in.<br>

I think you are referring to a thread I started. It looks like you are seeing the same thing I saw. Here is sktsee's answer to me.<br>
<br>
<quote><br>
Are you referring to the "Quick Filter" box or the "Search for<br>
Packages" (button with magnifying glass) search? If its the former you<br>
need to make sure that you've installed the apt-xapian-index package in<br>
order to get the "Quick Filter" box to show up in Synaptic.<br>
</quote><br>
<br>
Once I did that and the Quick Filter box appeared then a search in installed, from the Quick Filter box, would only return results from installed.<br>
