I understand that this sounds like a ridiculous question but here is what I am trying to do: Install the apache http server.



So I run apt search apache and get a ton of results.



Actually...
apt search apache | wc -l and dividing by 3 - I seem to get about 700 results.



  1. I can try to narrow this down using apt search apache http and then I get about 200 results and then I can scroll a lot and it will eventually turn up.


  2. I can also use apt search --names-only apache and at least exclude all those things that only mention apache in the description. That brings it down to 110 results.


All of this seems pretty complicated and tedious given that the package that I am looking for is called "apache2". Is there some way to get a best fit sorting of results? Or some other tool I should use?

You seem to know how the package should be called, or at least what a part of its name should be.
apt search doesn’t look like the best tool for this task, use apt list instead:



$ apt list apache*

apachetop/bionic 0.12.6-18build2 amd64


The escaped asterisk (*) means that any character(s) may follow the name. If you find nothing, consider adding the escaped asterisk to the beginning of the search string.



I am pretty sure you can choose the right one from this list. Obviously, the first is the actual Apache server. Choosing the apache2 package will also install its dependencies automatically.

You could use the grep command :



apt-cache search apache2 | grep apache2


and if you don't like the red color of grep, just add the --color=none option :



apt-cache search apache2 | grep apache2 --color=none


P.S : I recommend you to not forget the -cache option, you won't see the package name if you don't add it by using grep command (see below the result without this option) :



WARNING: apt does not have a stable CLI interface. Use with caution in scripts.

Apache HTTP Server (mod_ssl development headers)
WebSocket extension for Apache HTTP Server


EDIT : Thanks to @pymym23, you would sort better your results by using the description, for example



apt-cache search apache2 | grep "Apache HTTP Server"


Result :



apache2-ssl-dev - Apache HTTP Server (mod_ssl development headers)
python-mod-pywebsocket - WebSocket extension for Apache HTTP Server


Also, you must use the -i option, it won't sort result if you don't type a capital letter instead of a little one



Example :



apt-cache search apache2 | grep "apache HTTP Server"


and you got no result



apt-cache search apache2 | grep -i "apache HTTP Server"


and result is :



apache2-ssl-dev - Apache HTTP Server (mod_ssl development headers)
python-mod-pywebsocket - WebSocket extension for Apache HTTP Server

    If you know it is apache2 there is no need to search for it. HOW to use apt search to find out it was apache2 he is looking for is the question ;-)

    – Rinzwind

  • Maybe apt-cache search Apache HTTP Server | grep "Apache HTTP Server" will fit better ? Or does it only concern apt search ?

    – pymym213

  • @pymym213 this is a good idea, and there is only 2 results with apt-cache search apache | grep "Apache HTTP Server"

  • @pymym213 Interesting that there is a difference in output. Always thought apt-cache search and apt search did the same thing.

I find a good way of searching for this is tab complete



sudo apt install apache<tab><tab>


gives



 sudo apt install apache
apache2 apache2-doc apachedex
apache2-bin apache2-ssl-dev apacheds
apache2-data apache2-suexec-custom apachetop
apache2-dbg apache2-suexec-pristine
apache2-dev apache2-utils


if that fails just type in the command



~$ apache

Command 'apache' not found, did you mean:

command 'apache2' from deb apache2-bin

Try: sudo apt install <deb name>



Modern distros are pretty good at knowing what you meant



If that fails I usually fall back to apt search / apt list or more frequently these days search docker hub and install though docker

      You seem to know how the package should be called, or at least what a part of its name should be.
      apt search doesn’t look like the best tool for this task, use apt list instead:

      The escaped asterisk (*) means that any character(s) may follow the name. If you find nothing, consider adding the escaped asterisk to the beginning of the search string.



      I am pretty sure you can choose the right one from this list. Obviously, the first is the actual Apache server. Choosing the apache2 package will also install its dependencies automatically.

      You could use the grep command :



      apt-cache search apache2 | grep apache2


      and if you don't like the red color of grep, just add the --color=none option :



      apt-cache search apache2 | grep apache2 --color=none


      P.S : I recommend you to not forget the -cache option, you won't see the package name if you don't add it by using grep command (see below the result without this option) :



      WARNING: apt does not have a stable CLI interface. Use with caution in scripts.

      Apache HTTP Server (mod_ssl development headers)
      WebSocket extension for Apache HTTP Server


      EDIT : Thanks to @pymym23, you would sort better your results by using the description, for example



      apt-cache search apache2 | grep "Apache HTTP Server"


      Result :



      apache2-ssl-dev - Apache HTTP Server (mod_ssl development headers)
      python-mod-pywebsocket - WebSocket extension for Apache HTTP Server


      Also, you must use the -i option, it won't sort result if you don't type a capital letter instead of a little one



      Example :



      apt-cache search apache2 | grep "apache HTTP Server"


      and you got no result



      apt-cache search apache2 | grep -i "apache HTTP Server"


      and result is :



      apache2-ssl-dev - Apache HTTP Server (mod_ssl development headers)
      python-mod-pywebsocket - WebSocket extension for Apache HTTP Server
