• “Tanked” might be a better word in this case. “Snowballed” refers to the forming of and accumulation of snow into a ball. Example: If you are having trouble concentrating, you can start small and try to get your concentration to build and “snowball” from there, at which point it will become significantly easier to build on it. If successful, your concentration can be said to have “snowballed.”

• I understand what you mean, and tend to agree, although I had some success with zypper se -d '/CD.*burn/'—'CD.*(burn)|(writer)' produced more results than I’d like—for your example. It also appears apt-cache search already searches descriptions by default.

  Looking at results for just /CD/—amid the many poor results—it seems my earlier search missed some due to differing word usage, such as recording rather than burning, and whatnot.

• According to the man-page at https://manpages.debian.org/buster/apt/apt.8.en.html and the linked https://manpages.debian.org/buster/manpages/regex.7.en.html, you should be able to use regex like apt search '(-|^)vim(-|$)' to get vim as either whole name or related packages with containing vim with leading or trailing dashes, or apt search '^vim' to get any beginning with vim—in case that helps. zypper lets me do essentially that with zypper se '/(-|^)vim(-|$)/' and such.
