I already did, as you can read in msg814! This doesn't work!

But now I did something different:

[max at MaxWLAN ~]$ smart search */smart-root
Lade Zwischenspeicher...
Update Zwischenspeicher...                       
################################################################### [100%]

smart - Next generation package handling tool


[max at MaxWLAN ~]$

Surprise, surprise!!! :-) the "*/<filename>" did it!

O.k., so nice to see that it works, in the end.


Funny thing about this issue, that you guys are unsure yourself about how these
things have to be done! ;-)
Perhaps you should give a hint on your FAQ-page, like:

search for packages can be performed when doing:
$ smart search {*}<packagename>

search for filenames can be performed when doing:
$ smart search {<path> or *}/<filename>



Have a nice weekend and keep up your good work! I really like smart very much!
