Being a command-line girl, I like using grep to winnow down search<br>
choices. I find it a lot faster than typing lots of repeated<br>
patterns into Google or Synaptic.<br>
<br>
You can search with either apt-cache search or aptitude search;<br>
I prefer aptitude. If you want something that includes both "clip"<br>
and "art" but you're not sure whether it's clipart, clip art,<br>
clip-art or what, you could do this:<br>
<br>
$ aptitude search clip | grep art<br>
p openclipart - Open Clip Art Library<br>
p openclipart-libreoffice - clip art for OpenOffice.org/LibreOffice gallery<br>
p openclipart-png - clip art in PNG format<br>
p openclipart-svg - clip art in SVG format<br>
<br>
The letter at the beginning of the line indicates whether it's<br>
installed or not. If it was installed it would say "i"; anything<br>
else means it's not installed or partially installed (details are in<br>
man aptitude, but I never remember, so I just look for i or not-i).<br>
