Search for "duplicity" (package) produces lots of irrelevant results (like search for "duplicate")

[Daniel Hahler]

Searching for "duplicity" (which is a package) yields the same results as searching for "duplicate".
This is true for the search in all bugs and on my personal page.

I'd expect to only get results related to the package/word itself.

Daniel, where do you see the "duplicity" project? I don't see it at <https://launchpad.net/projects/?text=duplicity>.

Some of this bug seems to be because (a) Launchpad is indexing bug comments as well as descriptions (IMO it shouldn't), (b) the search is doing stemming of duplicity = duplicate = duplicated etc (IMO it shouldn't do that either), and (c) imported bug reports have comments of the form "*** Bug xyz has been marked as a duplicate of this bug."

Matthew, I've meant "package", not product and have changed the description accordingly.

We have dedicated searches for packages (e.g. at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/duplicity) and for free text search stemming is appropriate. We are going to be doing an overhaul of search and want t support keywords - e.g. package:duplicity as a way to search for just bugs on a given package.
