Do you mean like
~$ aptitude search ~dpattern
to search "pattern" in packages' description?
Works also in the visual mode. See aptitude reference manual
(/usr/share/aptitude/README) for details about aptitude's search
patterns and other cool stuff...
aptitude (if it's there i missed it, though i went twice through the

Damn, i had a feeling i only missed it :) and i realy went twice through
