I see that you appear not to be using a fuzzy search but the referenced site is pretty impressive.

As in most searches finding the right 'key word(s)' can be tricky but this program is fast enough that a few iterations is not at all a problem! Correct. We will probably upgrade it to include support for regex's soon... but time has been short and neither of us have had the motivation to see it get done. ;) You would you do a fuzzy search, any idea's you're willing to contribute? It will already search for any substring of what you put in and I haven't had too many problems. My main reason for wanting regex support is so I can search for things like: mail$ or ^x and delimit the substring when I do searches. You can use on of the Debian Package Finders.

I was thinking about having the package without the binaries, that only does the installation, and you need to have the comercial stuff in /tmp to have it actually installed.
