if you search in descriptions or files and you only have the synthesis for your contrib source, it's normal; only the hdlist contain de descriptions and file lists. now for the search by name, i myself have the contrib as a synthesis source, and it does find the pkg when i enter "alien". (as a side note, the search is made with the perl regexp engin so what you try to do by "alien*" (shell glob like) is done by "^alien.*", but you probably only wanted "alien" to match anywhere in the string) -- Guillaume Cottenceau - http://people.mandrakesoft.com/~gc/
