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
