aptitude: searching for a short package name that is a common substring



Hi, I was wanting to install midnight commander and realised that the search function in aptitude wasn't helping me much as the string "mc" appears in lots of package names. (I used apt-get to install mc).

How does one get some text in the search box in aptitude to match the start of line or end of line of the package name, or alternatively, search by description?

Arthur.
