I think it is obvious, this does not work, and also does not have a
better way to urderstand libraries apart from applications, that means
desktop applications, which is the verry purpose of talking about
applications.

As final corolary this are the top 10 with the "games" keyword.

Of which 3 are more or less aceptable, the rest is nonsense when
compared to the query. Someone looking for games under linux and
opensuse, would just say that there are no games. There are relatevely
few games on linuxland, but this land us from few to none on regular
people perspective. Of course I know we can find on packman 3d shooters,
arcade, etc. The question is why although packman is in the database it
is not "searched". Which means, that packman contains games, the site
"knows" but does not "find". of course looking by specific name and
certain keywords I can find anything. But the way the site is now, it
does not work as it should.
