<div>I guess I'm not sure what exactly you're looking for, then. Are you planning to read the entire descriptive list you mentioned? Because unless you plan to read everything, there is always the need to select search terms. And if you don't plan to read the
whole thing, then you might as well just search the full READMEs (there would be no reason for the shortened descriptive list).</div>

Dan, <br>
<br>
Like a web search, sometimes the term we use is not the term used in the <br>
package so we don't find what we want even if it exists. <br>

I tried using sbopkg's 'view README' but it dumped me back to the list of <br>
packages. <br>

Thanks for the reply, <br>
