how much of the difference that you are talking about is related to the number of packages in the repository?

also, are you familiar with apt-cache (specifically apt-cache search)? it may have some of the functionality that you seem to think is missing

apt doesn't miss functionality compared to pacman, I'm pretty sure of that.
Pacman IS pretty fast, indeed, but to be honest I don't care that much.
