First of all. Thanks for the good work! I can remember, I was able to get better results for my searches under old YUMEX...

Why YUMEX-DNF does not search for keywords from other fields than just the package-name? Why not include other fields as Package-descriptions, Summary, etc.?

Maybe even include regular expressions additionally to wildcards...

Just select fields in search options and it will search in the fields you select. there is 3 search types for performance reasons and the dnf API for searching is diffent than the yum API was, so I have made 2 kind of package name search and one for user defined fields. try the version of yumex in the Fedora COPR repo (timlau\yumex-dnf) it is more intuitive (I Hope)

Problem of modern UI design is that the user must TRY clicking everywhere to find out WHAT is possible, and maybe, thou NOT... Meanwhile I had DISCOVERED how to use search here... Many thanks!
