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.
I can try to narrow this down using
apt search apache httpand then I get about 200 results and then I can scroll a lot and it will eventually turn up.I can also use
apt search --names-only apacheand 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?

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 ;-)

Oct 16 at 9:35
Maybeapt-cache search Apache HTTP Server | grep "Apache HTTP Server"will fit better ? Or does it only concernapt search?

Oct 16 at 9:37
@pymym213 this is a good idea, and there is only 2 results withapt-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:
$ apt list apache*

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.

This closest to what I want it's short and simple. Doesn't give a best fit sorting but at least I can find the results.

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

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
