I'm sure it does not matter what the middle development platform is -
activex, java, flash, javascript, ios, android, etc. If it's actually
useful, then the bad boys are going to find a way around it; and that
might be a good thing.

If the developers of the platform can't and aren't ensuring their code
is security robust, we need other people to be breaking their code so
that in the end, we gain more robust platforms...

But on the real topic: let's say we asked yum to tell us: yum search:
browser: lines=126, it's there
java   : lines=1374, it's there
plugin : lines=1710, not there
plug-in: lines=137, present
openjdk: lines=10, present.

Narrowing down:
java plugin: lines=90, not there. makes sense because plugin above
browser plugin: lines=11, not there
browser java:   lines=8,  it's there
browser openjdk: lines=1. strike.
browser java plugin: lines=9. present.
browser java plug-in: lines=1. strike
java plug-in: lines=3. easy pick

What search terms would others have used ?

Perhaps we can get the description and/or provides improved in the package ?
