Methods for Searching Packages with Ubuntu apt-cache

`apt-cache` is a core tool for querying software package information in the Ubuntu APT system, which can assist in software installation and management. Its core functions include: Basic search is achieved through `apt-cache search <keyword>`, matching package names or descriptions (e.g., searching for "text editor" will find editors like nano and vim); For precise searching, the `--names-only` parameter can be added to match only package names (e.g., `python3` will only display software whose package names contain this term); To view detailed information, use `apt-cache show <package name>`, which can obtain version, installed size, dependencies, etc. (e.g., the version of nano and its dependent libraries). Advanced techniques can be combined with `apt list` to filter installed or upgradeable packages, but it should be noted that: Execute `sudo apt update` to update the source before searching to ensure the results are up-to-date; The keyword needs to be accurate to avoid spelling errors. Mastering the three core commands `search`, `--names-only`, and `show` can efficiently locate and manage software packages.
