Bug#101980: regexp search should be a filter



Package: gnome-apt
Version: 0.3.10
Severity: wishlist

The search utility in gnome-apt just pops up a window with the matches (as
I'm sure you know). This doesn't make sense to me - it'd be much better if it 
acted as a filter. For instance, the reason I personally wanted this 
functionality is so I could, say, do a search for .*-dev packages and filter 
out all "Not Installed" packages, so I have a list of installed -dev packages. 
Then I remove all that I don't need any more. I usually do this manually with 
apt-cache search and apt-get, but it'd be *much* *much* nicer to do it in 
gnome-apt.
