about query of installed package

[ykcheung.bbs@VOIDbbs.e-fever.org (把我的梦摇醒了)]

i would like to ask how can how query the installed 
package names.

i redhat, i can use "rpm -qa | grep xxxx" or "rpm -qa"
but how to perform similar operation in debian?

i find it time consuming to search in dselect...
