Maybe it would suffice if we put some kind of visual indication in the chooser that there were excluded packages? Say we added a dummy entry at the end of the list that couldn't be clicked on and that just said[ ... more packages filtered out by search string ... ] in italics or something like that?
That sounds like a good idea to me. That way a person could choose the partial view, be warned that there are more packages being installed, and still have the search string available if they want to continue using it.
I only made the comment because the mailing list is full of complaints from people who accidentally update packages. It would be a shame if this improvement to setup.exe were to lead to more people having such problems.
