apt-cache manpage reads:
"if --names-only is given then the long description is not searched,
only the package name is."
I thought --names-only only checks for package name and short description,
but if it does also check for Provides: field and others then that
manpage needs to be fixed.
What other fields are checked by --names-only, appart from Package,
Provides and Description?
cheers
