Package Search page: treatment of platform queries

Would be great, I think, if we could have the option to search for a specific platform with the "any" platform inclusive. It's not a biggie, but would reduce the number of queries. Currently we can't have both on the same query, but often that is what what we are looking for.

I probably made this post longer than it should only because I lack the time to make it shorter.

Re: Package Search page: treatment of platform queries

+1 but I think it may not be worth the trouble.

You want to search for package 'foo' NOT on platform xyz e.g. not on i686.
You can search on all platforms and than sort by Arch rather that repo - it helps somewhat.

As always, the forum is the wrong place for feature requests. Post it in the bugtracker - Project: Arch Linux, Category: Web Site.
