Yum/dnf Search Functionality

Sun, 22 Jun 2014 14:50:25 -0700 

Hi,
I undertook a search for the string blueray in both yum and dnf and both, in my view, behaved strangely. 

    From yum I received the following messages:

yum search Blueray

Loaded plugins: aliases, axelget, changelog, fastestmirror, filter-data, 
keys, langpacks, list-data, merge-conf, post-transaction-actions, 
priorities, protectbase, ps, puppetverify, refresh-
              : packagekit, refresh-updatesd, remove-with-leaves, 
rpm-warm-cache, show-leaves, tmprepo, tsflags, upgrade-helper, verify, 
versionlock

    Why is yum not loading the metadata for all the repositories when 
it doesn't have any?


    From dnf I got the following messages:

    As can be seen from the above dnf refreshed the metadata where yum 
didn't, but why has dnf flagged no matches as an error when yum doesn't.
    Also, why do both of them issue the 'not found' message twice, once 
is sufficient?


regards,
Steve
