You don't need the full path. I do not like because it is not meaningful.

Is it the 'bin/gmsh' > file or the files matching 'ieee*.sty'? In this (virtual and non-sensical) example, I am looking for packages that contains any file matching ieee*.sty *and* any file matching "bin/gmsh" *and* any package that matches latex in its name/synopsis/description. I do not see why the both syntax can live together. To me, sometimes "file:" is clearer, sometimes instead "/" is. All the best, simon
