I tried that. And a couple of variations. I got the same output as
just using plain ol' apt-cache search. As part of the test, I searched
for an app version that I knew was ONLY in backports. It didn't show up
in the search. But I had to rush off and didn't have the time to try
anything else. Tomorrow, I'll try again, but be more thorough.
Thanks.
