Synaptic's search nearly useless.
I need a search tool which uses Boolean logic.
I'm usually looking for a standalone app, NOT an add-on for another app.
Rarely do I want a command line tool.
Suggestions?

Maybe
apt-cache search …..
?
That has the logic I want.

I want to search the Debian repository.
apt-file searches the repositories, you'll probably need to install it
as it's not installed by default.
Yes. Its manpage explicitly says it searches the repository.
