Search for "DFB".  You find packages.  Hit #1 is "DFB++".
Search for "DFB+".  Same results.
Now, search for "DFB++".  No output.  The basic Web template stuff shows up on
the sides but there's no text in the center.  Not even the customary "Nothing
Found."/"I could not find any ebuild..."

The package search, like `emerge -sS`, is a regular expression.  Since the + is
a special character in regular expressions, you need to escape it if you mean
the literal character

DFB\+\+
