Package: www.debian.org Version: n/a The problem became apparent to me when I tried to install the fastCGI library for the apache httpd on my debian system. The corresponding package is called 'libapache-mod-fastcgi', the important contents is the file mod_fastcgi.so. I did not know the name of the package and dselect, searching for 'fast' did not found it either.
I went straight to the package search facility (http://www.debian.org/distrib/packages) and tried to search with keywords. Here some example of my unsuccessful searches: - 'fast', 'cgi', 'apache' This turns up 49 entries, but none concerning 'libapache-mod-fastcgi'. - 'fastcgi' 1 entry 'framerd' (Always searcing for 'any','any','allow subwords') After some more of the same failures I turned to google and found rapidly (1st hit !) an usenet post revealing the package name (libapache-mod-fastcgi). Coming back to www.debian.org I found the package without problems searching for the name. In the package description the keywords I used for searching are present. I conclude that searching for keywords is package descriptions is buggy and does not work correctly.
