+1 to this request. I stumbled upon scoop to install a random package a few days ago, but since then, I feel like I've transformed my Windows experience with the apps I've found in the buckets. Scoop isn't just an app installer -- it's an app discoverer too!
My work around method has been to clone the bucket repos and use my editor's search function, which would mostly yield results from the description
fields in the bucket's json files, depending on if the keyword was specific enough. Not ideal, but workable.
As far as implementation goes, instead of a new subcommand, I'd simply just augment search
to accept an --include-description
option.
Instead of having a dedicated command for searching in the "description" I think existing search
command should be extended.
apt-cache search
and dnf search
work in such way, see: #4193.
It seems to me that it will be useful to be able to run a search including the application description. Like for instance, I want to install a music player, I don't have a preference and I just want to have something. It would be nice to run lets say
scoop search-description music
orscoop search-description 'music player'
and the result can be a list:
