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.
