I find that a search in zypper for installed package lists all possible items (installed and uninstalled) in alphabetical order with an “i” on the side showing installed items. I find this very effective as a means of seeing closely related items that might benefit one’s search if they were to be installed.
myrlyn and Yast software, on the other hand, first list the installed items related to your search in alphabetical order. Following that list, mrlyn/Yast Software restart alphabetization and show the uninstalled items. I find this two step listing display mode much more difficult to examine when looking for items related to an installed item.
Is there anyway to adjust the search display listing in myrlyn/Yast Software to list in the same manner as zypper does. II assume not. I would offer this as an update potential to future versions of myrlyn.
