Search results differ between pip and pip2 #58

pip2 only returns a subset of the search results returned by the original pip. I'm guessing pip2 is only searching over package names while the original pip searches over package names and descriptions (and maybe more fields).

We should check which fields pip searches and do the same in pip2.

Original pip:

$ pip search cheese

Pip2 searches package names and their summary, but that's it. I'm not sure what fields pip searches on though I know it's at least name and summary as well.

Oops, I was using an old version in the pip2 script because I hadn't gone a python setup.py install/develop in a while. It looks like you modified it to search the description field on May 1st. pip and pip2 now show the same results for the 'cheese' search. They are sorted a bit differently though. Odd.
