Hello group,

as this is my first mail here I have to 'do' a statement first: Do
absolutely rocks!!! It really works like a charm and boosts my productivity!
Thanks a lot!! :-)

A use case which I'm often facing is, that I quickly want to check the
package archive for existing packages and install what I find. Right now I
open a terminal and search via "apt-cache search foo" look for what fits and
then install it.

Is there a way to do this directly with Do? I know the AptURL Install
plugin, but it implies that I know the exact name of the package. While
sitting on my couch I came up with the idea that it would be cool to be able
to do something like the following:
Summon Do => type 'search package' or something significant shorter :-) =>
type a search term => tab => a list of packages found by apt-cache gets
displayed, select one and press return and the package then gets installed
by the AptURL install plugin.
Would it be better that I try to extend the AptURL plugin or to write a
complete new?

With best regards,

Ben
