Bug Description
I 'm having a NFS problem after upgrading to Ubuntu 11.10 so I searched for "nfs". I get a few matches but nothing helpful. Finally I found what I needed, the nfs-common package. Searching for "nfs" (without the quotes, obviously) doesn't match a package named "nfs-common"??

For me NFS seems to match nfs-common (it is the fourth element in the search results), however it's not shown by default, I had to click Show technical items on the bottom of the pane to see it, otherwise I had only three results, and nfs-common was not there. Did you try the show technical items link in the bottom left corner? If you did try it and you didn't see nfs-common, this is a strange issue (as it happens for you, but it doesn't happen for me), but if you didn't try the link, than you probably have the same issue as the one reported in bug #985963.
