Well, that depends. I don't think all that is needed. Like Seth 
said, let's just provide two fields:

Search for: [__________________________]
Repository: [Fedora Core 4 ⇓]

The search will be done on package name, summary, and description.

Such a utility would be useful for newbies wondering what packages 
are offered by a repository and for people looking to provide a 
quick link to a package page for someone else, e.g. on IRC:

  <noob> what do I install to enable foo?
  <leet> http://fedoraproject.org/packages/?q=foo

People who are interested in more than that are not likely to go to 
a webpage anyway, since there is already a number of tools that lets 
you query repositories.

Sounds good?
