I have to agree here. Inquisitio does great job finding all packages including
selected keyword, but it's pretty much useless for quick searches. And well
update-eix is _the_only_ hook i use from this overlay.
Ok silly (aka proof of concept) example. I want to see all available versions
of glibc (on multilib profile - amd64) to find out the name of 32bit version.
(Each of these commands was run 3 times and best time was pasted to this
email)

Description: Steel Bank Common Lisp (SBCL) is an
implementation of ANSI Common Lisp.
Long Description: Steel Bank Common Lisp is an open source Common
Lisp implementation. It provides an integrated native compiler, interpreter,
and debugger. SBCL is a fork off of the main branch of CMUCL. SBCL is
distinguished from CMUCL by a greater emphasis on maintainability. In
particular, the SBCL system can be built directly from its source code, so
that the output corresponds to the source code in a controlled, verifiable
way, and arbitrary changes can be made to the system without causing
bootstrapping problems. SBCL also places less emphasis than CMU CL does on new
non-ANSI extensions, or on backward compatibility with old non-ANSI features.
Support for native threading on GNU/Linux is available for the x86 and amd64
platforms using an NPTL enabled GLIBC. SBCL 0.8.17 and later support Unicode.

Description: C library for developing embedded Linux systems
Long Description: uClibc pronounced yew-see-lib-see is a C library
for developing embedded Linux systems. It is much smaller than the GNU C
Library, but nearly all applications supported by glibc also work perfectly
with uClibc. Porting applications from glibc to uClibc typically involves just
recompiling the source code. uClibc even supports shared libraries and
threading. It currently runs on standard Linux and MMU-less (also known as
uClinux) systems with support for alpha, ARM, cris, i386, i960, h8300, m68k,
mips/mipsel, PowerPC, SH, SPARC, and v850 processors.

I don't really fancy wasting over 3 minutes to get the list and another 20 sec
to find out the library name im looking for.
so 0m0.061s vs ~3.5min?
