You can make a bookmark with the following properties:

Name: Debian packages
Location: http://packages.debian.org/cgi-bin/search_packages.pl?keywords=%s&searchon=names&subword=1&version=all&release=all
Keyword: deb

Then you can type "deb foo" in the location bar, and see all packages
with a name containing the string "foo". Elaborate as necessary.
