No, this isn't good either. It doesn't work if you follow that
instruction. Doesn't give error but doesn't show results either.
Note results of using your directive:
equery files --type >="vim-6.2"
(Just returns a prompt)
It appears here that the symbols themselves must be quoted as well as
the package like this:
equery files --type ">=vim-6.2"
[ Searching for packages matching >=vim-6.2... ]
