[Sumana Harihareswara]

Quick note: we've implemented the fix Terry Jan Reedy suggested
regarding window width and filters to fix
https://github.com/pypa/warehouse/issues/3454 , so thank you to everyone
who helped us nail this down.

Thanks for clarifying, Bill! Yes, I thought you were talking about the
dedicated search page, and now I see what you mean. And thanks for your
thoughts on this, Paul. I wonder whether some lookahead search that
includes suggested facets (specifically, classifiers) springing up as
you type would help? I've updated
https://github.com/pypa/warehouse/issues/3462 accordingly.
