Hi shirish,
Hi Axel,
<snipped>
So unless you want to change aptitude's default, I don't see any bug
here and would like to close this bug report again.
Could you tell/share/remind why does aptitude do it differently than
apt-cache or axi-cache . I do find using apt-cache or axi-cache
search to be better in this aspect rather than plain aptitude :(
I have always been telling friends that aptitude is better than other
package managers, more powerful and yet pretty convenient.
Is there some reason that we do not use the description wildcard when
searching for packages. ? And I know this will be a big change and
probably not welcomed by most/many sys-admins so not saying that.
If I were to change the behavior in my aptitude installation, where or
how I could do the change so the above behavior that you shared could
be simulated.
I forgot to share that I had seen both man apt.conf and the examples
given at /usr/share/doc/examples and specifically the
configure-index.gz but didn't become any wiser.
I would like to make changes and keep it at /etc/apt/apt.conf so when
the searches happen, it happens both for name as well as description .
Even doing it ~/.aptitude is ok but didn't see any possibilities in
either the aptitude or apt-conf man page.
Look forward to knowing more.
As Axel said, a more-or-less equivalent in bash would be:
aptitude search {~d,~n}marathi
It's easy to add a function or an alias in bash to get the results:
$ function aptitude_enhanced_search() { aptitude search {~d,~n}$1; }
$ aptitude_enhanced_search marathi
