Debian Package Search is a GUI for searching packages and showing package information.<br>
It is aimed to help you search for the packages you need. It should make the task of searching a pleasant experience. Additionally it offers a convenient way to display the information available for a package. Originally I designed it to find a single package where you have a clear imagination of what you want — and it is really good for this ;-). But it can also be used to simply browse the packages available. Perhaps there is something in the database you simply must have.

<p>
Debian Package Search provides a single interface for different types of search including a full text search (apt-cache search) and searching by categories (debtags search). Debtags is a new approach for categorizing the Debian packages developed by Enrico Zini (see <a href="http://debtags.alioth.debian.org/">http://debtags.alioth.debian.org/</a> for more information). Once you have found an interesting package you can install from within the user interface.<br>
