NAME
       dnf5-search - Search Command

SYNOPSIS
       dnf5 search [options] <pattern>...

DESCRIPTION
       The search command in DNF5 is used for searching packages by matching
       given keywords from the user against various metadata.

       By default the command searches for all requested keys (AND operation)
       in Name or Summary fields from the RPM package metadata. Matching is
       case-insensitive and globs are supported.

OPTIONS

       --all
              Search patterns also inside Description and URL fields.
              By applying this option the search lists packages that match at least one of the keys (OR operation).


       --showduplicates
              Show all versions of packages, not only the latest ones.


EXAMPLES

       dnf5 search kernel
              Search kernel keyword inside Name or Summary package metadata fields.


       dnf5 search rpm dbus
              Search packages having both rpm and dbus keywords inside Name or Summary fields.


       dnf5 search --all fedora gnome kde
              Search packages having any of given keywords in Name, Summary, Description or URL fields.
