To quickly find a package whose name you know, press
<span class="keycap"><strong>/</strong></span> to open a search dialog:
</p><div class="screenshot"><div class="mediaobject"><table border="0" summary="manufactured viewport for HTML img" style="cellpadding: 0; cellspacing: 0;" width="100%"><tr><td><img src="images/search-snapshot.png" width="100%" alt="[search dialog]" /></td></tr></table><div class="longdesc-link" align="right"><br clear="all" /><span class="longdesc-link">[<a href="ld-idm380.html" target="longdesc">D</a>]</span></div></div></div><p>
As you can see in the above screen shot, a search for
<strong class="userinput"><code>froz</code></strong> finds the
<code class="systemitem">frozen-bubble</code> package. Using
<span class="command"><strong>aptitude</strong></span>'s powerful search language, described in <a class="xref" href="ch02s04.html" title="Search patterns">the section called “Search patterns”</a>, it is possible to find
packages based on many complex criteria.
</p><div class="tip" style="margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0.5in;"><table border="0" summary="Tip"><tr><td rowspan="2" align="center" valign="top" width="25"><img alt="[Tip]" src="images/tip.png" /></td><th align="left">Tip</th></tr><tr><td align="left" valign="top"><p>
You can search backwards in the package list by pressing
<span class="keycap"><strong>\</strong></span>, and you can repeat the last search by
pressing <span class="keycap"><strong>n</strong></span> after closing the search
window.
</p></td></tr></table></div><p>
Sometimes it is useful to hide all packages except those
which meet some particular criterion. To do this, press
<span class="keycap"><strong>l</strong></span>:
</p><div class="screenshot"><div class="mediaobject"><table border="0" summary="manufactured viewport for HTML img" style="cellpadding: 0; cellspacing: 0;" width="100%"><tr><td><img src="images/limit-snapshot.png" width="100%" alt="[package tree limit dialog]" /></td></tr></table><div class="longdesc-link" align="right"><br clear="all" /><span class="longdesc-link">[<a href="ld-idm399.html" target="longdesc">D</a>]</span></div></div></div><p>
This dialog works exactly like the search dialog, except
that instead of highlighting the next package that matches
what you typed into the dialog box, it hides all packages
which don't match. For instance, typing
<strong class="userinput"><code>apti</code></strong> into this dialog box and
pressing <span class="keycap"><strong>Enter</strong></span> will hide all packages
except those whose names contain <span class="quote">“<span class="quote">apti</span>”</span>:
