I think this misses the point. Suppose you never heard of Artha. If you had Synaptic, you could scroll thru it. You come to Artha. It says something like Thesaurus and dictionary. So you install it, find out you like it and keep it. If you didn't like it, you zapped it. Now you have only Yast, zypper, and rpm. How do you find Artha? (Well Firefox probably would find it, but that's cheating!) Also, for someone who has used apt-get install, it used to work here. What has been gained by removing it? Someone who has used Linux for years may expect to have that combination. Well, anyway, I learned something: I didn't realize that rpm could be used this way. But only if you know to ask about glibc. (For instance.)
As you can see in the photo posted by Felix on his reply, that information is in YaST (which is not yet installed). What is not yet installed? YaST is installed everywhere, by default.
artha.
See there is a tab named "search"? Well, click on it, then type "thesaurus", hit enter, and YaST will find for you all packages that contain that word - you can tick "description" to only search the description database.
No, there is not a tab named "search" --at least not in my YaST.
If it doesn't show in your yast, just select it in View.
But I haven't updated the system in 10 days or so. Maybe it's there now. I'll run the update now and see.
It has been there for decades. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.2 x86_64 at Telcontar)
