#15434: RFE: port search should search name, description and long_description ----------------------------------+----------------------------------------- Reporter: raimue@… | Owner: raimue@… Type: enhancement | Status: reopened Priority: Normal | Milestone: MacPorts 1.7.1 Component: base | Version: 1.6.0 Resolution: | Keywords: Port: | ----------------------------------+----------------------------------------- Comment(by andrew@…): This sort of search problem is rather common. My suggestion would be to add options for perl-like '''regular expression''' searching, as well as the --name, --description, and --long_description options. That way, if searching for TeX, you can use {{{ port search --rexexp "/\btex\b/i" }}} to search, case-insensitively, for TeX on a word boundary. Just my $0.02 - and at the current Canada to US exchange rate, it may not be worth much... :-) -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/15434#comment:11> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
