Because `--search` search in synopsis and description. Then `ruby-multi-test` is false-positive, I guess. And `nethack` does not show up. Maybe because the description and/or synopsis is not verbose enough. If `guix package -s rogue -s dungeon | recsel -C -p name` then more package are found. Do they correspond? e.g., powwow? What is the feedback about the Debian tagging system debtags? I mean that I am an happy user of Debian and I do not use so much debtags. Because I do not often explore packages and so I find the `aptitude search` regexp then grep easier to remember. Well, other said, from my point of view, a tag system does not solve the issue here and it adds layer (bikeshedding?). The easiest fix seems to improve the descriptions field. IMHO. Or to add features to --search and regexp. In complement to the more elegant solution proposed by swedebugia. What do you think? All the best, simon
