Description Rob Holland 2004-06-01 06:53:33 UTC 
I think when searching for 'apache', net-www/apache should be the first hit, and other packages with apache in the name should come next, follow by mod_* which just have it in their description.

not sure what searching algorithm we're using.

marduk?

The search is made pretty much the same as the -s and -S flags in the emerge command.  All searches are regular expressions.  So even doing an "emerge -S apache" the apache package shows up 8th or so.  If you are, for example,  specifically looking for the "apache" package, then your search string would be "^apache$"
