I think it's ok for searching for functionality - if you start 
searching for package names it becomes worse, especially if they 
are made up words or contain punctuation.

Your improvement is great and I would love to put it in, but the 
implementation is not good as it is right now:
- it's getting worse results if you typo or have different tense 
or form of words
- it first fetches all the documents into memory and then filters 
on them (which will take longer and longer the more packages we 
have)
- the PR is mixed with unrelated deprecation fixes which should 
really be done separately (but should definitely be done!)
