I agree, let's first have a basic implementation of "filter by name",
and then maybe add an isearch option later. The way currently I have
to search by name is to start isearch, type a name, and open occur
from isearch. Then jumping from the *Occur* buffer back to packages
is so ugly workaround for having a proper filter by name.
Filtering a huge list of packages will improve the current situation.
(Another useful command would be "filter by description and name"
like in Synaptic package manager.)
