No problem then, I'll change the function names as Stefan suggested:

package-menu-search => package-menu-filter-by-name
package-menu-filter => package-menu-filter-by-keyword

Then, I'll add the new keybindings and also address the feedback he gave
me regarding my last patch. Thanks for the feedback!
