The `aptitude` equivalence should be `aptitude search '?term(numpy)'` And now, Guix is better. ;-) $ time guix package -s numpy real 0m7.924s user 0m1.240s sys 0m0.144s $ time guix package -s conduit real 0m0.758s user 0m0.796s sys 0m0.044s compared to: $ time aptitude search '?term(numpy)' real 0m7.393s user 0m1.556s sys 0m0.628s $ time aptitude search '?term(conduit)' real 0m1.824s user 0m1.352s sys 0m0.464s However, I still think that a SQL caching file containing also descriptions should improve the searching experience with cold cache. Thanks! Now I have better understood some internals. :-) All the best, simon
