Hello friends,

does anybody know if there is a RPM database tool that can be used in
console, I can't find any switch to the rpm-command so I can see what apps
are installed.

Even better:

  rpm -qa | grep -i packagename

because many packages use capital letters. There 
are about 113 of them on my system.

To see every rpm that's installed:

rpm -qa

To limit the list:

rpm -qa | grep xyz

where xyz is part of a rpm file name.
