问题描述
我习惯于在基于 Debian 的发行版下使用 apt 搜索和安装软件包，它的一个有用功能是您也可以在软件包的描述中进行搜索，因此您无需知道确切的要找到它的包的名称。它可以以探索性的方式使用。例如，假设我正在搜索与函数式编程相关的包，但没有想到特定的包。我可以这样做：
(base) user@desktop:~$ apt-cache search functional | grep 'programming'
libio-async-perl - modules for asynchronous event-driven programming
libjs-underscore - JavaScript's functional programming helper library

现在我安装了 Anaconda，并注意到提供的包管理器 conda 在运行“conda search”时似乎只按名称搜索包。有没有办法让它表现得像 apt 一样，也可以通过描述搜索？
解决方法
不，不能使用 conda search 搜索包描述。 conda search 的查询结果，包括带有 --info|-i 标志的查询结果，不包含包描述信息。
从 Anaconda Cloud 检索包摘要的功能有限。这由包 anaconda show 中的 anaconda-client 命令提供，并且仅提供精确匹配（通道和包）。例如，
(base) $ anaconda show 'conda-forge/r-purrr'
Using Anaconda API: https://api.anaconda.org
Name: r-purrr
Summary: A complete and consistent functional programming toolkit for R.
Access: public
Package Types: conda
Versions:
+ 0.2.2
+ 0.2.3
+ 0.2.4
+ 0.2.5
+ 0.3.1
+ 0.3.2
+ 0.3.3
+ 0.3.4
To install this package with conda run:
conda install --channel https://conda.anaconda.org/conda-forge r-purrr
但是，这不会像在 OP 中所做的那样搜索包描述，而只会检索有关查询的信息。
