It's better, but not fixed completely.

If you search for 'sun-java', it searches 'sun' and 'java' just like Roman Polach's 'mozilla-mplayer'.

Should it not actually use the '-' (dash) as a search term? If I want to search 'mozilla' and 'mplayer' or 'sun' and 'java', I'll add a space (e.g. 'sun java', 'mozilla mplayer').

Dashes are very important in package names and I believe they should be treated as such in the search.
