3 It would still be nice to search descriptions. And if bitchx is in
4 net-irc then a search for irc should still find it and it doesn't. I'm

6 point. For search to be truly usefull it should search more then the
7 name field.

27 hrmm, don't take any offence to this but bitchx is in
28 /usr/portage/net-irc.
