[pkg-discuss] pkg search keywords

Danek's recent fix for 7682 (adding the "audioi810" keyword to the
audio810 driver so it shows up in searches) made me wonder if there's
other packages that should have keywords added so they show up in
searches for search terms that don't match the package names or any
files.

Here's a list of some I can think of that should come up in searches, but
currently don't when searching in the b110 repo on ipkg.sfbay/dev:

RealVNC		SUNWxvnc, SUNWvncviewer
vnc		SUNWvinagre  [filed 7728 for the typo that causes this]
pciaccess	SUNWpciaccess
ati		SUNWxorg-graphics-ddx
radeon		SUNWxorg-graphics-ddx
radeonhd	SUNWxorg-graphics-ddx
rlogind		SUNWrcmds
rshd		SUNWrcmds
dhcpd		SUNWdhcs
sqlite		SUNWsqlite3, SUNWsqlite3docs, SUNWsqlite3tcl
OpenGL		SUNWxorg-mesa, NVDAgraphics
GLX		SUNWxorg-mesa, NVDAgraphics
DRI		SUNWdrm
CD-RW		SUNWcdrw
DVD-RW		SUNWcdrw
Prism		SUNWpcwl
CIFS		SUNWsmbs, SUNWsmbskr
BrandZ		SUNWlx
firewire	SUNW1394, SUNWav1394, SUNW1394h, SUNWfwdc, SUNWscsa1394
1394		SUNW1394, SUNWav1394, SUNWfwdc
bonnie		SUNWbonnieplus
ntpd		SUNWntp
udapl		SUNWudapl

Does anyone have others to suggest before the list gets filed in bugzilla?

Hopefully the Great Renaming will get rid of the need for keywords for
these, but having them for the 2009.06 release may be nice until then.

For the SUNWefb* packages for XVR-100 & XVR_300, those keywords don't seem
to match the pkg summary since the summary gives it as "XVR-300/XVR-100,"
not separate words.  XVR-50 is listed as a separate word in the summary,
so it matches that already.

Other packages with / in their descriptions seem to have similar matching
issues (SUNWdhcs with "BOOTP/DHCP" for instance) - is allowing matches of
/ separated words in the description a general enhancement that should be
made to search?

If not, or if that's not going to be changed in time for 2009.06, these
additional keywords would also seem useful to work around that:

XVR-100		SUNWefb, SUNWefbw, SUNWefbcf
XVR-300		SUNWefb, SUNWefbw, SUNWefbcf
bootp		SUNWdhcs
magnifier	SUNWgnome-a11y-reader
reader		SUNWgnome-a11y-reader
DVD		SUNWbrasero
CD		SUNWbrasero
5100		SUNWiwh
5300		SUNWiwh
Lucent		SUNWpcwl
Prism-II	SUNWpcwl
RT2501		SUNWrum
RT2601		SUNWrum
RT73USB		SUNWrum
CIFS		SUNWsmbfs, SUNWsmba
SMB		SUNWsmba
2200		SUNWqlc
2202		SUNWqlc

Similarly, other non-word characters, like "(R)" or other words in parentheses
or followed by commas, cause these to not match:
Intel		SUNWiwh, SUNWiwk, SUNWixgb, SUNWintgige, SUNWwpi
IPP		SUNWippl, SUNWippcore
JSS		SUNWjss
CSS		SUNWlibcroco
SVG		SUNWlibrsvg
RDP		SUNWrdesktop
