Hi,

it would be useful if - in the package listing window - using the search text box would not only search the names of the packages (as it seems to be doing), but also in the descriptive strings. We may have much less packages than R, but we have enough that doing the eyeball scan is not a good alternative.

OK, I acknowledge that one could also search on the web page (https://gretl.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/gretldata.cgi?opt=SHOW_FUNCS), but by that rationale we wouldn't need any built-in search facility.

thanks

sven
