How can i search the names of rpms, and show the summary and
description?

If i urpmf, it appears to search more.  For example:

urpmf man page says the --summary switch searches summaries, but the
urpmf help says:

 --summary      - print tag summary: summary.

which i thought meant it would print the sumary.

What i'd like is a command line version of what rpmdrake does:  once
i get it open, it very nicely shows only packages with "nmh" in the
name (for example) and i can quickly see the description and
summary.

It also, on the same page, shows the current version i have
installed, if any.

Is there a line (or lines) for urpm* that i can use?

Thanks,
eric
