IMHO dnfdragora is compulsory if you are looking for all available
packages that provide certain functionality.
I've no idea what that means. 'dnf search' and 'dnf info' have always
been good enough for me.
It might be my lack of understanding of how they work, but I have never
been able to get them to find packages based on the contents of the
description.
"man dnf-search"
DESCRIPTION
The search command in DNF5 is used for searching packages by
matching given keywords from the user against various metadata.
By default the command searches for all requested keys (AND
operation) in Name or Summary fields from the RPM package metadata.
Matching is case-insensitive and globs are supported.
OPTIONS
--all
Search patterns also inside Description and URL fields.
By applying this option the search lists packages that
match at least one of the keys (OR operation).
