Are we stuck with being legacy compat with multiple representations of 
packageSack? Because this could be re-tooled to use a SQL "like" query 
into a carefully keyed sqlite database. 

Also, we could learn lessons from rpmfind.net and rpm.pbone.net about 
how the search should be setup. For example, if they want to look for a 
file, then provide full path. Code then keys off of "/".  Then, a plain 
"mt" only looks in package names.  If user doesn't know if "mt" is 
in /usr/bin or /usr/sbin, then burden is placed on the user to 
enumerate the possibilities.

Searching files, package names, etc. etc., in one swoop can be a 
gargantuan undertaking.
