I need to dig more in packages.d.o

Example, let's search for /usr/bin/watch 

Notice the missing *h* of watch 
NOK: http://packages.debian.org/search?searchon=contents&keywords=bin%2Fwatc
NOK: http://packages.debian.org/search?mode=filename&searchon=contents&keywords=bin%2Fwatc
NOK: http://packages.debian.org/search?mode=exactfilename&searchon=contents&keywords=bin%2Fwatc

OK:  http://packages.debian.org/search?searchon=contents&keywords=bin%2Fwatch
NOK: http://packages.debian.org/search?mode=filename&searchon=contents&keywords=bin%2Fwatch
OK:  http://packages.debian.org/search?mode=exactfilename&searchon=contents&keywords=bin%2Fwatch

PS: all previous mails other than the initial report are completely
unrelated, ignore them.
