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.. -- Package-specific info: aptitude 0.4.11.11 compiled at Dec 5 2008 02:43:34 Compiler: g++ 4.3.2 Compiled against: apt version 4.6.0 NCurses version 5.6 libsigc++ version: 2.0.18 Ept support enabled.
