I don't see this in the mocks, and it requires some dev time so I'd like to push this to 3.3.  Please comment here if you disagree.
Target Milestone: 3.2 → 3.3
Actually, it's in the mocks that Madhava did @ http://wiki.mozilla.org/Update:Remora_UI_Review/Mockups/Home_Page/2007-09-12_revisions/#When_we_want_to_intervene. But agree that it's not critical, we can defer it for now.
Target Milestone: 3.3 → 3.x (triaged)
With full text search engine we should aim to include this capability as well. Incidently, the terms identified in comment 0 are a result of the analysis of the most popular search terms on AMO.

Sure, we can pre-parse for these phrases and do special things.

Clearleft's mockup attached. They took this opportunity to clean up the search results pages to better fit the style and conventions used throughout the site. The suggestion callout is intentionally disruptive, and I think it looks fine.

I'm also thinking we should remove the application filter, since we don't have that sort of thing anywhere else and it changes the entire site view when you filter by it.

Agreed it never made sense there.
WFM.  Will there ever be more than 1 suggestion?

Bug 647317 would also like to add "Flash" to this list to download the flash plugin.  Posting a comment here and then duping the bug.
