That sounds like a good idea to me.  That way a person could choose the 
partial view, be warned that there are more packages being installed, 
and still have the search string available if they want to continue 
using it.

I only made the comment because the mailing list is full of complaints 
from people who accidentally update packages.  It would be a shame if 
this improvement to setup.exe were to lead to more people having such 
problems.
