Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 247810

(addons.mozilla.org Graveyard :: Public Pages, enhancement)

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040923 Firefox/0.10
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040923 Firefox/0.10

Scenario: I am looking for the flash blocker extension

The update site currently forces you to 
1. guess what category the extension would be in, most of the time I guess wrong 
2. click around a bunch of listings hoping to eventually find it.
3. give up, file a bug, and use google

I would highly recommend a simple search feature.

Reproducible: Always

Please search *before* you file bugs. Filing duplicate bugs just takes away time
from development, as it has to be spent marking your bug as a dupe. :-)
Lessening the chances of your bug being fixed in a timely manner. Thanks.

There is no bug under Webtools->Update for searching.  Is this the same code as
mozilla.org->Update? 

This needs to be made a bit clearer or at least rename one of the components to
reflect some kind of difference.
