Re: [gentoo-user] When did "emerge --search" start returning packages that don't match?

Shouldn't only the last of the ones shown above be returned? the culprit is --fuzzy-search. The manual states: "This option is enabled by default". Try the following: $ emerge --fuzzy-search=n --search wxpython | grep '^[^\t ]' [ Results for search key : wxpython ] Searching... * dev-python/wxpython [ Applications found : 1 ] I don't use --search (eix is my friend), but if you are certain that this behavior is new to you, then this new default must be introduced only recently. -- Kind regards Flo

I just tested this on my system as well and am seeing the same (apart from the masked ones). I agree that I would expect only "dev-python/wxpython" to be shown. "eix wxpython" does work as expected. -- Joost

I recently noticed that "emerge --search" stopped working correctly. It now returns all sorts of packages that don't match the search sting: $ emerge --search wxpython | grep '^[^\t ]' [ Results for search key : wxpython ] Searching... * dev-lang/python * dev-python/bpython * dev-python/ipython * dev-python/pythong [ Masked ] * dev-python/twython * dev-python/vpython [ Masked ] * dev-python/wxpython [ Applications found : 7 ] Why is it returning packges that don't match what I'm searching for?
