是否可以在conda中通过包描述进行搜索？

Question

我习惯于在基于Debian的发行版下使用apt搜索和安装包，它的一个有用的功能是您还可以在包的描述中进行搜索，因此您不需要知道包的确切名称即可找到它。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，但脑海中并没有具体的包。我可以这样做：

(base) user@desktop:~$ apt-cache search functional | grep '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，也可以通过描述进行搜索？

Answer 1

不能，不能用conda search搜索软件包描述。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。这是由软件包anaconda-client中的anaconda show命令提供的，并且仅提供精确匹配(通道和软件包)。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中那样搜索包描述，而是只检索所查询包的信息。
