I'm doing 'pkg search gnome' at the moment. It's still cranking away -- my timeout is now set to 300. :-) BUT, pkg is displaying things and started doing so almost immediately. For what it's worth, as an end-user, the experience with the command line feels better: At least I know it's doing *something*. With the current gui implementation, the results list is blank for an awfully long time -- and comes up empty without an extremely long timeout. Perhaps packagemanager could display results along the way? Given the timeout issue, would it make sense to add an option to the packagemanager Preferences dialog through which users could increase the value of PKG_CLIENT_TIMEOUT? The other thing I'm wondering is if you all could be persuaded to re-enable offline/local searching in packagemanager. Perhaps not by default -- maybe it could be a setting in Preferences? Or perhaps in the instance of a timeout, search could fall back on a local search?? At the risk of sounding nonconstructive, which I really don't want to sound, packagemanager search used to be a useful tool to me. It's feeling far less so with these recent changes. (Sorry!) Thanks for the explanations and help!
