mc is the package name and binary executable for the best available file
manager in openSUSE repos.

Latest Midnight Commander (mc) not discoverable via
https://software.opensuse.org/search .

Until recently, current mc for 13.1 could be found on
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Base:/System/openSUSE_13.2/ but this
repo has been retired.

Searching https://software.opensuse.org/search for search term commander
produces no hits for Midnight Commander or mc.

Search term mc is not acceptable to https://software.opensuse.org/search, as it
rejects two character search strings, first by announcement, then when
proceeding anyway, searching for mc only as a substring, listing many packages
containing string mc but not mc itself.

I tried searching for latest mc on https://build.opensuse.org/search but as I
am not a builder I found it too difficult to use to locate latest (mc-4.8.14)
even with help from irc://freenode/opensuse-factory.

Something needs to be done so that every package that exists in standard or BS
repos can be discovered via https://software.opensuse.org/search without the
degree of difficulty searching for Midnight Commander presents.
