[arch-general] Pacman Search on Package Names Only?
Greetings, Is there a way to limit Pacman to search package names only, rather than package names and descriptions? https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Pacman#Querying_package_databases says that you can do that by tweaking the search term, but that doesn't really work. As a [horrible] workaround, I could write my own script atop pacman -Qq, but, well, yuck. :-) Thanks, Dan
How about: pacman -Sl | grep <something> On 3/25/22 7:58 AM, Dan Sommers via arch-general wrote:
