Reason for closing:  Not a bug
Additional comments about closing:  Known "issue", we have feature requests to make this more obvious when it isn't name or description that matched.

We could afford to make it clearer why it matched, but schroot provides 'sbuild' which matches your query.

'pacman -Ss' searches the whole output of 'pacman -Si'.

Oh, I see..
I shall have done more investigation before submitting this bug report. Sorry for that.
Thank you for your reply :)

It isn't actually all of -Si; it is the following four fields:
* pkgname
* pkgdesc
* provides
* groups
