Yum's search function was limited to a smaller set of data unless you
did "yum search all," then it looked wider afield.  It even suggested
you try it, if you got low/no results (it's been a while since I've
noticed this).

Thanks Tim, neither yum nor dnf, both of which give the same results, didn't suggest to try a further search, but I would have thought that as a minimum they would have searched installed packages first. It is completely illogical to me for a product to do a search for specified functionality and not tell you that functionality is provided by something you already have installed.

Steve
