Feature changed by: Todd R (TheBlackCat) Feature #306588, revision 5 Title: Improve on software search Hackweek IV: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Juergen Weigert (jnweiger) Description: software.o.o/search is always a case insensitive substring search. I'd like to hack into the system and add * optional case sensitivity, * exact package name search * regexp search This is an opportunity to learn ruby on rails for me. Any takers, who want to coach me, especially with Rails welcome. Discussion: #1: M. S. (funkym) (2009-08-25 09:54:49) I think it would even be feasable to sort the search results by: 1) Repository type (Official, official sub repos like GNOME:Factory, then down to user ones) 2) Highest package version Thus one would find the latest packages from the highest priority repositories first. + #2: Todd R (theblackcat) (2010-08-13 16:57:14) + Being able to search for an exact match is really important for + me. Try finding the version os python available. Do you have any idea + how many packages have the word "python" in their name? There are + about 50 just in the repositories I have enabled. Finding the just + plain "python" package is essentially impossible. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/306588
