I triaged this a bit and it seems that Adept3 searches for partial matches in package names. However, only the first word in a packae name seems to be recognized. E.g. "phy" will show phylip, "phys" will show dphys-swapfile. "paw" and "paw-d" will show paw-demos, while "demos" will not.
In the descriptions, matches are only shown for full words. E.g. "physic" will show no results, while "physics" will give you a host of them. As a further experiment, the package paw-demos is decribed as "Physics Analysis Workstation ...". So to find it from the description, one needs to search for "phsics", "analysis" or "workstation", while "phsic", "analys" or "work" will not work. Strange behaviour. I've also filed a wishlist bug regarding search behaviour (285050). -- Adept3: search does not provide expected results https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/263438 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
