As mentioned in <a class="xref" href="ch02s04.html" title="Search patterns">the section called “Search patterns”</a>, when
you search for a package by name, the text you enter is
actually a regular expression. Thus, the search pattern
<span class="quote">“<span class="quote"><code class="literal">^<em class="replaceable"><code>name</code></em>$</code></span>”</span>
will match only a package named
<em class="replaceable"><code>name</code></em>.
</p><p>
For instance, you can find <code class="literal">apt</code> (but not
<code class="literal">aptitude</code> or
<code class="literal">synaptic</code>) by entering
<strong class="userinput"><code>^apt$</code></strong>; you can find
<code class="literal">g++</code> (but not
<code class="literal">g++-2.95</code> or <code class="literal">g++-3.0</code>)
by entering <strong class="userinput"><code>^g\+\+$</code></strong>.

Normally, you cannot select text in an xterm while a
program running in that terminal (such as <span class="command"><strong>aptitude</strong></span>) is
using the mouse. However, you can override this behavior
and perform a selection by holding the
<span class="keycap"><strong>Shift</strong></span> key down while you click on the
terminal.
