Version: 2.0 (using KDE KDE 3.5.4) Installed from: Ubuntu Packages OS: Linux i speak out for the ability to search the full description text of packages for a better search result. created 2 attachments to show for which text i'd like to search and to find the adept package. but the second screen shows that its not found.

I think, that it's very important to add search in full description to Adept!
I see it's still unconfirmed. Adept search return less hits than "apt cache search" ubuntu feisty: adept search "adept" Result: adept - package management suite for KDE adept-batch - command line install for Adept adept-common - package manager for KDE -- common files adept-installer - simple user interface for application management (for KDE) adept-manager - package manager for KDE adept-notifier - system tray notifier of available system updates adept-updater - system update tool for KDE Result of "apt-cache search adept": adept - package management suite for KDE adept-batch - command line install for Adept adept-common - package manager for KDE -- common files adept-installer - simple user interface for application management (for KDE) adept-manager - package manager for KDE adept-notifier - system tray notifier of available system updates adept-updater - system update tool for KDE libauthen-captcha-perl - Extension for creating captcha's to verify the human element in transactions ---- libauthen-captcha-perl is found by "apt-cache-search" because of the full-description: ...The most common form is an image file containing distorted text, which humans are *adept* at reading... So the rephrased wish is: ability to search in full-description like apt-cache.

PLEASE, FIX THIS UGLY BUG!!!!
Fix this BUG!
Fix this BUG! i agree with them all :-)
this bug should be fixed, i think
IMPORTANT: please integrate a button or a check box into adept where you can choose between the new and the old searching method. this would be better because sometimes the search results with "apt-cache search *" are very, very big (e.g. searching for "package management" in the ubuntu repositories).
For all those yellers, feel free to hire me to work on whatever you like, till then please consider that this is right now a free-time activity for some of us (and there's very little free time to divide on just too many activities).
For 3.0, full-text (full featured, with stemming and proper scoring, based on Xapian) indexing of full package description is being used. This isn't exactly what has been asked (not the same result set as apt-cache search), but should be actually better for most use cases.
