I know at one time FreshMeat had a better site search engine.  I don't
know what they are using now.  You do have a good point it does suck
currently.

FreshMeat searches just aren't as useful as they used to be -- if you're
logged into your FM account all is well,
but whenever I'm visiting someone else's computer and trying to answer a
quick question and show off how many
suitable solutions exist in the open source space, often lesser-quality and
obscure solutions are prominent...
For instance:
http://freshmeat.net/search/?q=bandwidth+monitor&section=projects&Go.x=0&Go.y=0
says "Not logged in" where I should be able to sort by rating, which I find
crucial.
Hence, my use of FM (and some other OSDL sites) has waned in favor of the
generalized search engine of the week.  :(
I'd like to see OSDL flourish -- why this apparent crippling, oh why?
