<sigh>Right. OK but how does the name "kat" indicate that it is a search
tool?  Remember, a user wouldn't start off knowing what the name of the
package they are looking for is.  They only know the *function* of what
they are looking for and even then they may be using different words to
describe it that the industry or genre in which the package in question
resides. This is why it's important to have reasonably verbose package
descriptions.
