Description Stefano Negro 2011-07-19 14:08:12 CEST
Description of problem:
I have seen that in rpmdrake to look for packages by description it's not possible, today it's only by package name.
I believe that it'll be more useful for users to find it also looking for some word in the description of the package.
I know that this is difficult because now there isn't a database in the client, but we could discuss a little bit on it.
i.e. the debian like distro have apt-cache search <word> and the synaptic UI.
urpmf --summary <word> could be the right solution for bash?
and rpmdrake UI ?

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
all rpmdrake 

How reproducible:
Open rpmdrake and try to look to a package using a word that could be in the description

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open rpmdrake
2. Look for a package using the find feature available
3.

It does exist, albeit not easily found; left-click the small magnifying glass icon in the left side of the search box, and select "in descriptions".

Source RPM: (none) => rpmdrake
