Just further to this mail, I just tried the search again with yum and it did suggest using search all where dnf did not. Yum also refreshed 3 of the repositories that dnf had refreshed as well.On 06/27/2014 12:35 AM, Tim wrote:Allegedly, on or about 26 June 2014, Stephen Morris sent:neither yum nor dnf, both of which give the same results, didn't suggest to try a further search, but I would have thought that as a minimum they would have searched installed packages first. It is completely illogical to me for a product to do a search for specified functionality and not tell you that functionality is provided by something you already have installed.For what it's worth, it searches the yum database for matches. The yum database contains information on all packages, installed, or not. If the database hasn't been recently cached (the definition of recent can be configured by you), then it will update the cache, first.I'm currently booted up on an older installation, but when I did "yum search music" it returned a list of applications that have some *music* keyword in some of their metadata. And, the last line of the results said: Name and summary matches only, use "search all" for everything. And the results included things I have installed, those these results don't indicate whether its results are uninstalled, or installed. If you did a subsequent yum info packagename, on anything that caught your interest, that would show whether it was installed (in this example, the "repo" line either shows where you can get it from, or that it's installed). Then I did a test to search for something that will produce no results, I tried the following command line, and got the following results: yum search giraffe Loaded plugins: langpacks, presto, refresh-packagekit Warning: No matches found for: giraffe No Matches found I'm surprised that it didn't tag on the use search all message. Perhaps it would be good if it falls back on doing yum search all, for you, if there was no results. Though, that could be a nuisance, in itself.Hi Tim,I have tried the searches again with dnf and smart and as can be seen from the output, dnf did not suggest to use search all, nor did it show Handbrake in its list as smart did, and when I issue the info command on Handbrake from dnf it showed that Handbrake is indeed installed. Given that it appears that in my environment it is behaving differently to your environment, am I missing something that should be installed?[steve@home-desktop ~]$ dnf search bluray Cairo-Dock repository 22 kB/s | 33 kB 00:01 Open source multiplatform video transcoder 6.4 kB/s | 5.7 kB 00:00 RPM Fusion for Fedora 20 - Free - Updates 360 kB/s | 373 kB 00:01 RPM Fusion for Fedora 20 - Nonfree - Updates 284 kB/s | 106 kB 00:00 RPM Fusion for Fedora 20 - Free 392 kB/s | 487 kB 00:01 Adobe Systems Incorporated 2.5 kB/s | 1.8 kB 00:00 Adobe Systems Incorporated 2.1 kB/s | 1.8 kB 00:00 Fedora 20 - x86_64 - Updates 562 kB/s | 24 MB 00:42 Russian Fedora for Fedora 20 - Free - Updates 74 kB/s | 108 kB 00:01 google-chrome 8.1 kB/s | 3.5 kB 00:00 Russian Fedora for Fedora 20 - Free 61 kB/s | 83 kB 00:01 RPM Fusion for Fedora 20 - Nonfree 431 kB/s | 289 kB 00:00 RPM Sphere 320 kB/s | 6.0 MB 00:19======================================================================================== N/S Matched: bluray ========================================================================================libbluray-bdj.x86_64 : BDJ support for libbluray libbluray-java.x86_64 : BDJ support for libbluray libbluray-utils.x86_64 : Test utilities for libbluray libbluray-devel.x86_64 : Development files for libbluray libbluray-devel.i686 : Development files for libbluray libbluray.x86_64 : Library to access Blu-Ray disks for video playback libbluray.i686 : Library to access Blu-Ray disks for video playback [steve@home-desktop ~]$ smart search bluray Loading cache...Updating cache... ############################################################################################################### [100%]HandBrake-cli - An open-source multiplatform video transcoder (CLI) HandBrake-gui - An open-source multiplatform video transcoder (GUI) libbluray - Library to access Blu-Ray disks for video playback libbluray - Library to access Blu-Ray disks for video playback libbluray - Library to access Blu-Ray disks for video playback libbluray - Library to access Blu-Ray disks for video playback libbluray - Library to access Blu-Ray disks for video playback libbluray - Library to access Blu-Ray disks for video playback libbluray-bdj - BDJ support for libbluray libbluray-bdj - BDJ support for libbluray libbluray-devel - Development files for libbluray libbluray-devel - Development files for libbluray libbluray-devel - Development files for libbluray libbluray-devel - Development files for libbluray libbluray-devel - Development files for libbluray libbluray-java - BDJ support for libbluray libbluray-java - BDJ support for libbluray libbluray-utils - Test utilities for libbluray libbluray-utils - Test utilities for libbluray serviio - A free media server [steve@home-desktop ~]$ dnf info HandBrake-cli Installed Packages Name : HandBrake-cli Arch : x86_64 Epoch : 0 Version : 0.9.9 Release : 12.fc20 Size : 1.4 M Repo : @System Summary : An open-source multiplatform video transcoder (CLI) URL : http://handbrake.fr/ License : GPLv2+Description : HandBrake is a general-purpose, free, open-source, cross-platform, multithreaded video transcoder software application.
