Bug Description

<https://dogfood.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas> says "You can search for PPA by the o[wn]er name or by any word in its description."

But neither of these are as useful as searching for a particular package. This should be possible.

More generically, you should be able to find the PPA based on words in the descriptions of packages published in that PPA. In other cases we have a mechanism to create a concatenated long cached string which is used as a search target (specifically, we have a cache of the descriptions of all binary packages produced by a source package, which is used when searching through source packages, because source packages themselves have no descriptions).

We could do something similar - have a cache in the Archive of all the descriptions of all binary packages published in the archive. This would be crazy-long for full archives but would be reasonable for PPAs as we see them currently (with 5-100 packages in a PPA).
