Package: aptitude
Version: 0.4.11.11-1~lenny1
Severity: wishlist

Is it possible to have 'aptitude search' show a long list of matches like 
apt-cache search?

I find it frustrating that i have to use apt-cache search, even in the light of 
eventually using
aptitude install..

apt-cache search seems to show much more relevant hits than aptitude search.. 
why is this?

thanks for any reply, greatly appreciate it..
