Hi,

It could be two things :
1) You xapian index is empty. Run update-apt-xapian-index as root.
Install apt-xapian-index if necessary.
2) You're looking for a package which name is not among its
xapian-indexed tags, which is what the default search uses. It's
strange, but it happens. To mimick the regular (ncurse) aptitude search,
do "?name(ccache)".

A simple "ccache" search gives me ccache, ccontrol, compilercache. a
"?name(ccache)" search gives me ccache.
