Help on 'search' Feta 1.4.0
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
It is possible to search your local package database, in a variety of
ways. The simplest way is using the 'search <string>' format, where it
searches package names and descriptions for the the string.
If that's not precise enough, Feta provides a way to search any given
field of the package information for an expression, using
'search Field: <string>'.
Finally, Feta can be told to display a specific field (normally, Feta
displays the package name), by using
'search SearchField: <string> DisplayField:'. Since this is probably
confusing explained like this, see the examples below.
The search results are always sorted, and do not print the same result
twice no matter how many times it appears.
EXAMPLES
--------
To search all package descriptions for the string "apt":
$ feta search apt
To search for all packages that depend on 'fileutils':
$ feta search Depends: fileutils
To display the maintainers of all packages that recommend an info browser:
$ feta search Recommends: info-browser Maintainer:
OTHER REFERENCES
----------------
Using the normal search command, Feta uses apt-cache(8)'s 'search'
command. When searching or displaying certain fields, Feta uses
grep-dctrl(1). The results are piped to sort(1) and uniq(1).
