Search comparison

It's search comparison.
Mageia App Db search not only in the apps'name but in the description too.

Summary: darkrpm => Why Mageia App Db is more useful to find a app than drakrpm ?

Arch column

Arch column could be move in setting.
Or a way to hide other Arch result. 
In deed for a noob  make a choice  between to Arch result, it's not easy.
More Globally i think the user interface could be improved =)

You can let drakrpm search in the descriptions, too, by clicking on the search icon ("3" in this screen http://doc.mageia.org/mcc/5/en/content/images/rpmdrake1.png ) and selecting to search the string you enter in the complete descriptions of the packages, or (less time consuming) just in the summaries, instead of only in the package names.

About the arch: if you install manatools (a libyui port of mcc, which is still work in progress), you can use rpmdragora. I think the Mga5 version of it already allows to select to only show 64bit and noarch packages. That certainly works in Cauldron.

There is probably an existing enhancement request to make this possible in rpmdrake, too, but I don't currently find it.

Well bug #6942 but I'm quite sure there is another more recent... maybe is closed as well...
