[Yum] searching package descriptions

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Howde. Pardon me if this is a newbe question.

I am just checking out yum under fedora. I've been using apt for quite a
long time. When I am looking for packages under apt it will search the
descriptions and show hits that are related. For instance, 'apt-cache
search apache' returns 13 responses, showing me packages that are related
to apache, such as php and mod_ssl. When I do 'yum list apache' I get no
hits at all because the package is httpd.

Is there currently a way to search package descriptions?

If not would it make sense to have something like 'yum search foo' look
for foo within the descriptions of packages?
