IMO, it ought to search in filelists either by default or when specifying the "all" argument (which is misleading since "all != everything anyway). > DNF doesn't match substrings by default in (what)provides command.

There are other counter-examples: # dnf search mouse dpi tool|wc -l 3144 Too much lines of output for a human-being to parse, especially since the top of the list doesn't ring a bell: kmousetool.x86_64 : A program that clicks the mouse for you xdotool.x86_64 : Fake keyboard/mouse input # dnf search mouse dpi tool|grep -i matched =========================== N/S Matched: mouse, tool =========================== ============================== N/S Matched: tool =============================== ============================== N/S Matched: mouse ============================== =============================== N/S Matched: dpi =============================== ============================== N/S Matched: tool =============================== ============================== N/S Matched: mouse ============================== ============================== N/S Matched: tool =============================== ============================== N/S Matched: mouse ============================== Conclusively, it didn't find a "mouse dpi tool" anywhere, but just the individual words. It *would* be successful, if it searched filelists. However, doing that via "dnf whatprovides …" involves a lot of creativity regarding wildcards, or else I could never come up with the actual spelling of the tool's file name. > Btw fedora devel list doesn't serve for reporting DNF bugs. Meanwhile I've already added a comment to a related RFE. I prefer filing bugs only if there is agreement/confirmation that it is considered a bug to fix eventually. It is entirely non-productive to open a ticket and have developers disagree or not respond to a ticket. That's why I posted my thoughts here. When I search, I do it with repoquery and grep, because yum/dnf search isn't powerful enough and hence not helpful. -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct
