I think it really needs more information about how it (yum) works, and
how to use it, and without having to ask questions on a mailing list.
The simple grep example offered earlier is far from exhaustive in the
results that you'll get.

You need to make the grep case insensitive.

And trying to find Apache packages, for instance, is a bit difficult,
that way.  Apache is "httpd" for some stupid reason.
