Search for phrase: synology

finds nothing

while there is eg.:

https://software.opensuse.org/package/synology-drive

You need to set baseproject to "ALL" to include community packages in the search result. I know this is not intuitive and we should fix that.

About since the move to the tile layout, I also have problems with the package search. For example, here is another one: The firebird database server is not found, but it is in opensuse leap 15.4 oss repo.

https://download.opensuse.org/distribution/leap/15.4/repo/oss/x86_64/firebird-3.0.4.33054-1.7.x86_64.rpm

Also here it is at least listed for 15.2, but not found when searched for all distributions (only php-firebird packages show up): https://software.opensuse.org/package/firebird

It shows up though, when specifically searching for 15.2.

If this behavior is intended, then the issue is that the search is hard to use.
