Package: aptitude
Version: 0.8.3-1
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
As shared above, aptitude search gives far less results than apt-cache search.
For instance -
[$] aptitude search marathi
p task-marathi -
Marathi environment
p task-marathi-desktop -
Marathi desktop
Now let's try the same using either apt-cache or axi-cache
[$] apt-cache search marathi
[0:07:03]
aspell-mr - Marathi (mr) dictionary for GNU aspell
festival-mr - festival text to speech synthesizer for Marathi language
festvox-mr-nsk - Marathi male speaker for festival
firefox-esr-l10n-mr - Marathi language package for Firefox ESR
iceweasel-l10n-mr - Marathi language package for Iceweasel -
Transitional package
fonts-deva-extra - Free fonts for Devanagari script
fonts-gargi - OpenType Devanagari font
fonts-lohit-deva - Lohit TrueType font for Devanagari script
fonts-nakula - Free Unicode compliant Devanagari font
fonts-sahadeva - Free Unicode compliant Devanagari font
fonts-samyak-deva - Samyak TrueType font for Devanagari script
fonts-sarai - truetype font for devanagari script
gcompris-sound-mr - Indian Marathi sound files for GCompris
hyphen-mr - Marathi hyphenation patterns for LibreOffice
iok - Indic Onscreen Keyboard
kde-l10n-mr - Marathi (mr) localization files for KDE
libreoffice-l10n-mr - office productivity suite -- Marathi language package
task-marathi - Marathi environment
task-marathi-desktop - Marathi desktop
tesseract-ocr-mar - tesseract-ocr language files for Marathi
firefox-l10n-mr - Marathi language package for Firefox
And this is the same search with axi-cache
─[$] axi-cache search marathi
21 results found.
Results 1-20:
100% festvox-mr-nsk - Marathi male speaker for festival
99% task-marathi - Marathi environment
99% task-marathi-desktop - Marathi desktop
98% festival-mr - festival text to speech synthesizer for Marathi language

`axi-cache more' will give more results
And this is without updating apt-xapian-index .
There is possibility that there is something that I may have missed
although I did search the debian bts (bugs.debian.org/aptitude) as
well as scanned the whole of aptitude manual in order to see if I
missed something about some index updation or something else but came
up empty.
Look forward to answers.
