Package: aptitude
Version: 0.5.2.1-1
Severity: normal


With the new "improved" xapian-thingy search, searches seem to start
failing as soon as you type a dash ("-"), which is obviously an
extremely common character in debian package names...

To see this, try searching for "libsvn"...ok finds stuff.
now try searching for "libsvn-dev" -- it will start beeping at you as
soon as you type the dash, and the search fails to proceed.

[Conversely some characters which were before problematic, as they were
regexp syntax, have now become searchable, e.g. "+" (g++ etc).  Of
course the corollary is that searches are no longer regexps (by
default?)... in general it seems that the new search needs a bunch of
front-end work...]

Thanks,

-Miles
