I'm not sure if I'm right here, please point me to the correct place when I'm not :)

The best location for bug reports on software.opensuse.org is

How can these different results be explained? And can the wrong "no packages" statements please be eliminated somehow?

This sounds like you are searching packages for a specific distribution that you have selected in the dropdown menu. Right now, targeting specific distributions will only return results if there is an official release for that  distribution. The package page does not have that limit.

We had a discussion about software.opensuse.org two days ago at the openSUSE Conference that was partly about the search function and how it could be improved. This is something we want to change, but I don't know how long it will take.

In the meantime, you can use "ALL Distributions" as a workaround, that will also give you results for packages that have no official releases.

This point is not valid. Even when using "ALL Distributions" the search falls back to one: openSUSE Factory. "No packages found matching your search. You could try to extend your search to development packages or search for another base distribution (currently openSUSE:Factory)." This was tested with: https://software.opensuse.org/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&baseproject=ALL&q=dxvk

Not really. It does not matter whether I use "All Distributions" or "15.0" or "Ubuntu" or whatever. Packages like "jitsi", "proxytunnel", "srcpd" are not found.

That is weird, I can find those packages when I use "All Distributions". Does the site refresh when you select a different distribution? There is an open issue that seems to be the same problem as you describe. https://github.com/openSUSE/software-o-o/issues/589. One thing that could help is to clear your cookies for the site or try it in a private browser window.

The searches work fine for other packages that are not component of the distributions I search. Or do you mean, when a package belongs to one distibution, it is found generally, not only when it's in the distribution I'm looking for?

I meant package "foo" must be in Leap 15.1 to show up in the search for Leap 15.1, the distribution is part of the search query that software-o-o sends to the OBS API. Could you give me an example of a package that is not in the official repositories of, let's say, Leap 15.1 BUT shows up as a result when Leap 15.1 is selected in the search drop down?

The behaviour has changed. I'm sure I pereviously found software independent from it belonging to a core distro or not.

You can still find the software if you select "All Distributions". I don't know why you have problems with finding some packages, they show up for me.

When I go to https://build.opensuse.org and enter "proxytunnel" as a search term, I get results all right. It should be possible to include those results at software.o.o

Software-o-o only targets published software. OBS search includes results of packages that fail to build or are not published. You are right that all the published rpms built on build.opensuse.org should be found via software-o-o and that is what we try to do. We are investigating other ways that don't (exclusively) use OBS API to see if that improves reliability of the search. However, as noted above, I don't get the same search results as you do.
