Description aztennenbaum 2004-12-23 16:26:00 UTC
Description searching is very slow and limited, so i would like to provide a patch to allow users to search by description within normal search results.

this revision allows searching by description within normal searches 

a comma is used to seperate the package search and the description search.
If a user wanted to search for all packeges with "gnome" in its name and
"theme"
in it's description, they would type "emerge gnome,theme"

this patch allows searching by description within normal searches.

i actually made this improvement for myself, because i was annoyed by how long
description searching took. The patch allows the user to make a search for,
say,
net, and in all packages that have net in their name emerge will search for the

 description. The package name and the description search re seperaed by a
comma
so the command would ook like this:
emerge -s @net,www
