If you select "?", you will get a list of more options. One of these is "p",
which pins all packages with critical or grave bugs. You have to quit and
restart apt-get after pinning, but running it again will upgrade all the
other packages.

Yes - the archive search tool does not work the same as Google.
>From the search page - located just above the "Search for" box:
"Words separated by a space are searched for together. Separating them with
a comma will find files containing either one. Separating them with a
semicolon will find files containing both."
If you feel foolish for not seeing it, you're not alone - I made the same
