Bug Description
Binary package hint: synaptic
When you only try to find a package via quick search, you fail because the search results page is still empty. If you the enter the search page, you still fail because there's something in the quick search box left.
Possible quick fix: empty the quick search box when opening the search page.
Suggestion: only show the quick search box as some kind of "refine tool" when already viewing the search results.

I think simply changing the text from "Quick Search" to "Narrow Results" will make things more clear without changing functionality for those who are already used to it.
