When I'm looking for something but I'm not sure what its package name is, I usually use the YaST Software Manager instead; it's a bit more friendly than zypper in those cases. Notice also that in Software Manager you can change the View from 'Search' to 'Repositories' and look at an individual repository, and search within it by then changing the Secondary Filter (bottom left) from 'All Packages' to 'Search'.

Sure. Zypper is faster to call, but yast is more tunable. You can search on descriptions, or not.

Huh. I'd have to read the manual for several minutes to find something like that... I will not remember the exact concoction now that I know it.
