[gentoo-dev] website suggestion: package search utility

[Ricardo Campos]

I think it would be super-helpful to have a package
search utility on your website. I'm considering 
switching to Gentoo, and this would make my decision
easier ("is this package there- yep, is this one?").

I am saying this as a debian user, who finds their
package search and online browsing of packages
extremely useful and user-friendly. Ref:
http://www.debian.org/distrib/packages/

Thanks!
Ricardo

I can't call that a package search, it's more like a package list.
I dont find any option to search for a specifik file in there.
I know qpkg maybe can do the job but it still would be nice with a webinterface

There's also emerge -s, and with the new caching it's even fast
