Is it possible from an interactive bash to search for cygwin packages (by
substring match) and install them?

I tried "/setup-x86_64.exe -h" but cannot see any options for it.

This feature doesn't exist (yet).

You could possibly build something equivalent using 'cygcheck -p' and
then processing it's output

This is the easy part, but how do I install a package via bash?
I tried it this way:


W10dev:/usr/local: /setup-x86_64.exe  -M -B -R "$CYGWIN_ROOT" -l 
"$CYGWIN_ROOT/.pkg-cache" -s https://ftp.fau.de/cygwin -P mksh

try without the
   -l "$CYGWIN_ROOT/.pkg-cache"
