Hm. Not quite what you were looking for, but 'apt-cache search' does this. As long as apt knows about packages, and if dselect uses apt as its get method or whatever, it does. As for searching descriptions in dselect, I'd like to know too. I'm surprised one of the dselect evangelists hasn't piped up on this yet... ;) HTH, Mike McGuire
