Search by package

[GoogleCodeExporter]

The Android market has functionality to search by package e.g.,
http://market.android.com/search?q=pname:<package>

That would be an excellent addition.  Right now it looks like the keyword
search is only searching the App Description field.

String query = "pname:<package>"; ???
It may work

Yep, I tried it.  A query with the form "pname:<package>" doesn't return any 
results.

Hmmm...seems to be working for me.

Cool!  Maybe I'm doing something incorrectly.  Here's an example query that 
doesn't
return any results for me: 

Locale: en_US
setOperator("T-Mobile", "310260");
pname:com.google.earth

Is that roughly the same thing you're doing?  When I do the same query using my 
G1
the Google Earth app comes up.
