    apt-search and dnf-search both exist. I have used both. I prefer a GUI for that because they’ll provide things like screenshots, no CLI tool does, neither to TUI tools like Aptitude.

      I wasn’t sure, the gui is nicer in some ways but defs less direct and given that you said “terminal is more direct” I thought you were using the gui because you hadn’t made some simple helper scripts for searching the database quickly
