there are a lot of possibilities, some of them are useful some probably not.
I wont hold back someone who is willing to have a look at all to improve
the search of course. ;) But I'm not the one who will do anything here,
no knowledge nor time to do so. I also wont have currently any interest
to look into the code and as I see it's mostly Perl, so I'm out at all. :)

Have you looked into the footer?

https://packages.debian.org/about/

There is all listed you want to know I'd say.
