- please reply to the debian.user mailing list, not to me personnaly: one purpose of such a list is to have archives that users can search later in order to solve their own problems similar to those mentionned here :-)
- Didier is my firstname: don't call me Mr Didier, just call me Didier :-)
To answer your question:
$ apt search your_criteria
will search for packages either present in your local package database or in repositories you have allowed (consult /etc/apt/sources.list file and /etc/apt/sources.list.d directory) whose name contains the your_criteria string.
this searching operation is similar to the apt-cache search one, whose manpage is here:
https://linux.die.net/man/8/apt-cache
Ypu will find additional information regarding Debian package management here:

there is a brief memento (debian reference card) here:

Generally speaking, ou will find interesting Debian documentation at this webpage:
