Description mst 2016-01-14 14:18:51 UTC 
When package list is ordered by name I would expect to jump quickly (not filter) to a package with name beginning with text I type.
Such solution is in Synaptic and it is very handy.

Reproducible: Always

GIF showing the bug

Being able to start typing a package name--or even just a letter or two--to jump within the package list is what keeps me using Synaptic over Muon. Without this feature, navigating such a long package list becomes quite clumsy. Here is a GIF showing how this works in Synaptic. You can see the text as I am typing it in a little box that appears to the bottom-right of the package list.

I have also "obsoleted" the attachment shared in comment #1, which is a script file that has nothing to do with this bug.

My System:
OS: KDE Neon 5.23 User Edition
Plasma Desktop 5.23.2
KDE Frameworks 5.87.0
Qt 5.15.3
Muon version 5.8.0

Muon is no longer maintained, please switch no a supported alternative like https://apps.kde.org/discover/ or the package manager native no your system.

Sorry for the inconvenience.
