zypper: Search package via keyword.
$ zypper search ${keyword}
try on your machine

The command "zypper search ${keyword}" is used in the Zypper package manager to search for packages that match a specific keyword. Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • "zypper": This is the command-line tool used to manage packages on openSUSE and SUSE Linux distributions.
  • "search": This is the subcommand of Zypper used to search for packages in the configured repositories.
  • "${keyword}": This is a placeholder for the keyword or package name you want to search for. You need to replace "${keyword}" with the actual keyword you want to search for.

By executing this command and replacing ${keyword} with your desired search term, Zypper will search the available repositories for packages that match the provided keyword. The search results will include the names, descriptions, and other relevant details of the matching packages.
