finally! but these keywords are stored where?

roberts:
On our servers. words.db is generated from the extension's Description: field.

vinnie:
Ok, I think a package maker should be able to watch all the keywords listed in words.db to get an idea of the keyword when he use for a package.
A clickable list of words appbrowers may be valid?

roberts:
words,db is not a set of predefined words rather the actual words from the extension's Description field. While it is true that garbage in results in garbage out. It should not be difficult for extension makers to use the new keyword search infrastructure that I have provided. Let's not make a mountain.
