Package: packagesearch
Version: 1.0
Severity: normal

I may be misunderstanding how things are supposed to work, but when I
enter a search pattern of pdesk, with search all descriptions checked
and "all" for the installed filter, nothing shows.

In contrast
$ apt-cache search pdesk
mgapdesk - X configuration tool for Matrox video card
otrs - Open Ticket Request System
otrs-doc-de - Open Ticket Request System - German documentation
otrs-doc-en - Open Ticket Request System - English documentation

I just installed this package yesterday, so its caches should be up to
date.

Other search strings seem to work as expected, including ones that are
only parts of words.

Could the fact that I have several versions in my sources.list
(testing, unstable) have anything to do with this?

As a probably unrelated issue, I'll note that when I did an update I
got a huge number of messages like the following:

Removing tag media not found in vocabulary (package adabrowse)
Removing tag devel not found in vocabulary (package adacgi)
Removing package addresses-framework not found in APT database
Removing package addresses-goodies not found in APT database

I'm not sure what it means, but I suspect it makes the tags searching
less useful.
