This is a different patch from the one in the bug tracker (implementation looks a little cleaner). Do you have the same qualms about this one? I think there should be a way of specifying more info in the search. What's good about this method is that it will only return what's needed, no more, no less.
I think it adds needless complexity, why not just return all data on the specified packages?
I guess what we could really use are examples of it's usage and potential abuse. At least with this method the server won't be hit as hard as if the client did the search and requested info for every single search result.
Bandwidth is cheap, it's mostly looking up on one table for package info, it's not really a performance hit to return more info. -S
