Searching for libgtk2.0-dev does not work with seemingly near matches. I
tried:

"libgtk 2 dev"
"libgtk 2"
"lib gtk dev"
"gtk dev 2"

and many similar combinations. All technical items are showing, yet this
library did not show up until I searched for its exact name (which I
found on google).

The test mentioned in #1 here is not a very thorough case, and does not
apply to the situation I am reporting here. Each word in the search term
needs to be applied in a separate search pass, with all results
aggregated together. In each search pass, the search word needs to be
matched against the entire package name. Matches should be accepted at
the start or end of the package name, and also anywhere in the middle.
Given these changes, any of my search attempts would have returned
libgtk2.0-dev.
