I quote from the Apt UI design:
4.2.2 Searching packages
There are two methods to look for packages: the user can either
narrow down the list of packages by selection the source, section or
priority to manage the main package list. The other method is a
seperate `search package' option. With this command the user can
select more criteria, such are words to search for in the
description, maintainer names, etc. All packages which meet this
criteria are then displayed in a window with search results, ordered
by likeliness. This search command will use the same filtering as is
used for the main package list. A package can be selected from this
list and the focus will jump to that package in the main package
list.
