Description Zac Medico gentoo-dev

Currently, a search like `emerge -s @dev-python/sip` will return lots of irrelevant results from the dev-python category. The problem is that the category and package name similarities are not weighed separately, so anything in the dev-python category has an artificially high similarity.
