Subject: www.debian.org: Unsuccessful package keyword search yields all packages
To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
X-Mailer: bug 3.2.10
Message-Id: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

Delivered-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Package: www.debian.org
Version: 20001002
Severity: normal
An unsuccessful keyword search at http://www.debian.org/distrib/packages
will sometimes yield a list of all the packages in Debian at the moment.
This appears to be because a keyword that never appears is ignored, and a
search for no keywords is interpreted as a search for anything. This is
arguably not the Right Thing for an unsuccessful search to do.
For example:
http://cgi.debian.org/cgi-bin/search_packages.pl?keywords=IPv6&searchon=all&version=stable&release=all
This will yield a list of 4402 packages, all reported as 100% perfect
matches.
