Sorry, I meant apt-cache for searches. This is directly from the top of the Debian Wiki:

Quote:
apt-get install <package-name>
An example would be "apt-get install cvs". You can find the names of packages by using the following command:

apt-cache search <search string> | grep <second optional search string>
an example is "apt-cache search kernel" or to refine the search "apt-cache search kernel | grep AMD"
