Why are you asking Chmouel about this?
This feature has disappeared because of the way rpmdrake has to deals with
packages informations. In Linux-Mandrake 7.2, all the informations where stored
in memory, and so a search was possible. In Linux-Mandrake 8.0, the informations
are stored in the so-called hdlist, and access to these is very slow.
Anyway, this feature will certainly reappear soon.
