This is developer logic. ;-) As a user I often use debian web interface to find packages that provides certain file. When I do it I do not know where this file should be located.

This regexp will do, but this should be mentioned somewhere (FAQ is a good place) so that users can understand what does developers of ipkg thinks file name is ;-) > > > Looking > > > at the source, it uses fnmatch(), so following should work too: > > > ipkg search '*stdio.h' > > > > Thanks...
