For the first and third, though, you don't want to browse.  Because if
the granularity of the groupings (which you browse) is good enough that
you can say "oh, that's obviously the only group I need to look in" you
either have a) 100s of groups or b) 100s of packages in each group.  And
that's never good for finding things.  Instead, you want good search.

For finding mock, browsing _could_ get you there, but if you know that
specifically what you want, again, searching is always going to get you
there faster.
