You may notice the absence of the software search (besides the link in the top right hand corner).
This is intentional. Attendees to the openSUSE conference can see my talk on Saturday at 11:00 [3] to understand why I think we should be de-emphasising the software search, and in addition to my personal opinion I am hopeful that Thursdays workshop will open doors to other solutions to the problems with the current package search.
I mostly find it helpful when helping people on irc, because I don't need to wait for zypper / yast to refresh repo's. For this sort of thing the search works much better and results are presented nicer then the search on build.opensuse.org as atleast some filtering is applied.
That's because the search in build.o.o looks for source packages (packager oriented) while the search in software.o.o searches for binary packages (user oriented).
But even then the build.o.o search algorithm is unnatural. Searching for "mongo" will find mongo-tools but not mongodb. So in a way it too expects you know what you search for.
