I didn't look specifically at SQLite3, at least not that I remember. Revamping search, as I understand it, is low on our priorities, meaning I'm not going to be making any major changes before the next release (and quite possibly after the next release, we've still got a lot of features required). Our impression is that local search is a rare operation since usually, an end user is searching for software they don't already have.
I find that assessment a little strange, since ultimately people aren't using computers to install software, they are using computers to use software. Once the software they need is installed searches will primarily be local searches. To state it differently, remote searches represent a fixed cost, whereas local searches represent an ongoing cost. I agree remote searches are very important -- possibly more important than local searches -- but that doesn't mean local searches are rare or negligible.
