Greetings, The issue is that package names aren't part of the search index, and they aren't part of the search index because they're not currently part of the package manifest. Since search only indexes what's in the package manifest, this is the result. In the near future, we will be making alterations to the package manifest format which will cause is it to include package names. Once that's done, search will automatically start indexing them and this problem should go away. We're aware that this is a usability issue, but it's primarily the result of a historical, technical limitation. Cheers, Jalal, Abdel wrote: > Thanks Paul for the updates.
