about:addons exentsion search fails to find exentsions by name

[shinyblue]

I wanted to install Firebug. about:addons > Search > firebug. This shows a bunch of exenstions loosely related to firebug, EXECPT firebug itself. I've had the same frustration with a particular named video download helper, e.g. "easy youtube video downloader" - not listed. Even adding in the author's name as search terms still does not find the right extension.

Surely an exact match on a name should prevail over all the other cruft? Or is it just completely broken?
