Hello,

<https://packages.debian.org> sometimes displays the message

> keywords.

with no obvious reason.  For example, a few minutes ago I saw it when
searching for "oui" within filenames:
<https://packages.debian.org/search?suite=sid&arch=i386&mode=filename&searchon=contents&keywords=oui>.

The search engine found five results, but apparently thought that 5 > 100!
