How do I use Yum search?

Introduction

On "Enterprise Linux" variants--CentOS, CloudLinux, AlmaLinux, and RockyLinux--you can utilize the 'yum' utility to manage RPM packages installed on the system. The 'search' sub-command will report information on packages available in your configured repositories.

Procedure

You can search for a package with the 'search' sub-command, replacing '$QUERY' with your query:

yum search $QUERY

For example, to search for the intl PHP extension:

yum search intl
