For performance reasons "yum search" does not search the file names of the packages. >From the man page: "yum search ... This is used to find packages when you know something about the package but aren't sure of it's name. By default search will try searching just package names and summaries, but if that "fails" it will then try descriptions and url." In my case: $ rpm -qa | wc -l 8317 $ find /usr/share | wc -l find: ‘/usr/share/polkit-1/rules.d’: Permission denied 501610 Note that I am just searching a popular directory, not even the whole file system, that I do not have all the packages installed and the counter shows more than half of a million file names.
