Unfortunately, you resolved this bug in a really awkward way. To make
"apt-cache search foo bar" do an implicit foo OR bar is *easily*
accomplished using a normal regexp. However, the patch I submitted
allows you to do foo AND bar, which is not easy to accomplish using a
normal regexp. (try it.. (foo.*bar)|(bar.*foo) works, but that's
basically a combinatorial explosion). It's my recommendation to switch
this.
