Subject:	Odd package search behaviour: \+\+\.la
Message-ID:	<20150831105805.GZ14466@dinwoodie.org>

If I use the package search on the Cygwin website to search for
`\+\+\.la`, then as expected, the results[0] include
mingw-gcc-g++-4.5.2-1, which includes the file
`usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-mingw32/4.5.2/debug/libstdc++.la`

However, if I search for `libstdc\+\+\.la`, despite this being just the
full name of the file that is being matched above, I get no results[1]!

I'm pretty sure that second results page ought to at least include that
package, since that package includes a file that very clearly (to me at
least) matches the specified regex...
