There are subtle details of these dnf capabilities I'm not grasping ("dnf search" does not find xeyes, even with the "--all" option.  But it is finding a few of the Python IDEs.

# dnf provides xeyes
xorg-x11-apps-7.7-20.fc28.x86_64 : X.Org X11 applications
Repo        : fedora
Matched from:
Provide    : xeyes = 1.1.1

You want to know why "search" won't find it?  This is why:

# dnf info xorg-x11-apps
Available Packages
Name         : xorg-x11-apps
Version      : 7.7
Release      : 20.fc28
Arch         : x86_64
Size         : 330 k
Source       : xorg-x11-apps-7.7-20.fc28.src.rpm
Repo         : fedora
Summary      : X.Org X11 applications
URL          : https://www.x.org
License      : MIT
Description  : A collection of common X Window System applications.

The package isn't about xeyes, so that "word" isn't anywhere in the provided info. However, for spyder:

# dnf search spyder
=========================================================== Name Matched: spyder ===========================================================
python2-spyder.noarch : Scientific Python Development Environment
python3-spyder.noarch : Scientific Python Development Environment

# dnf info python3-spyder
Available Packages
Name         : python3-spyder
URL          : https://pythonhosted.org/spyder
Description : Spyder is a Python development environment with advanced editing, interactive : testing, debugging and introspection features. It is especially recommended : for scientific computing thanks to NumPy (linear algebra), SciPy (signal and : image processing), matplotlib (interactive 2D/3D plotting), MayaVi’s mlab : (interactive 3D visualization) and -of course- IPython support.
             :
: Spyder may also be used as a library providing powerful console-related PyQt4
             : widgets.
             :
             : This package provides python3 build of spyder

The package is all about "spyder", so the search matches in the Name, the URL, and the Description. However, note that a match in the Description only works if you add the "--all" parameter to the search.
