Package: www.debian.org Severity: wishlist I have been frustrated a few times when searching on package name because the "search was too wide". Currently the search will only display exact matches in that case. For example, if I search on "mysql", I get nothing.
I would suggest adding one intermediate level: if the search is too wide, then try a search on packages _starting_ with the requested string. IMO in a lot of cases this will sufficiently reduce the number of results to be able to display a relevant selection, because now packages like libs and wrappers that contain the search name will be filtered out. I also think that it is a sufficiently natural restriction that it will not confuse users too much. Of course, a suitable warning will need to be displayed.
