Ideally, it shouldn't, because that description doesn't contain the word 'postgres': it only mentions 'postgresql'. Yes, this means that ept-cache doesn't do substring match, which on the upside makes finding packages like 'mc' possible. There are two main issues here: - providing some debian-specific stemming that is able to stem 'postgresql' as 'postgres' - improving the package descriptions to make sure they include the keywords that people normally use to look for the packages I'm going to discuss the issue at FOSDEM in a couple of days, let's see what comes out.
