I probably misunderstood the above but do you suggest every 'pkg
search' invocation would go over the network to the server instead of
searching local cache? That's not good, it'd be too slow, to say
nothing about the load on the server.

I typically do hundreds of 'aptitude search foo' for every 
'aptitude update' in debian. It'd be very annoying if it did an
implicit update for every search.
