As the OP's link explicitly referenced "debian" I used Synaptic's search function. There were no packages with "Erling" in package name, but several in description field.

*MY* reference to  "Erling" *IS* a typo. I did the tests with  "Erlang".
I used copy-n-paste in tests 'cause I'm a licy tipist ;}

    apt list '~nerlang'

gives more than 100 package names.
<https://packages.debian.org/search?suite=bookworm&searchon=names&keywords=erlang>
adds a warning that not all packages are listed due to excessive number.

I do not use synaptic, so I have no idea if it is possible to break search by changing its settings. I would start from inspection of apt sources

    apt policy
