If you are reffering to searches such as
https://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=memory+test&searchon=all&suite=stable&section=all 
. Doesn't give good results.

That one gives equal weight to:
Package memtester
     jessie (stable) (utils): Utility for testing the memory 
subsystem
Package brainparty
     jessie (stable) (games): 36 puzzle games for all the family
Package libdevel-cycle-perl
     jessie (stable) (perl): Perl module to detect memory cycles 
in Perl objects
