1. dnf's "provides" command is sensitive to case and special characters; the spelling must be exact.
The "provides" command only searches through what the packages say they provide and any files that they would install. From the man page: "The selection is case-sensitive and globbing is supported." Generally if you're looking for a file, you know what the name is. The supported patterns are limited, I don't see any way to search for 0 or 1 of something. However, in your case, "dnf provides '[Xx]*eyes'" would cover all the ways you tried to find it.
2. dnf's "search" command doesn't necessarily find something even when spelled correctly. I already have "xeyes", the above is merely demonstration.
The "search" command searches through the various descriptions that the packages provide. It is not case-sensitive, but it doesn't match filenames.
