For example, I need a program called "foobar", but don't know what package provides it. Under Fedora, I'd use "yum provides foobar"; what command should I use under Gentoo? Something like "esearch foobar" searches package titles, not contents. So, if I was searching for "vi", I'd get all sorts of stuff that has nothing to do with the editor "vi", but happens to have the substring "vi" in its name. And if I was searching for "libfoobar.so", then I might not find any matches, since that file might be in a package called "foobar". In other words, "esearch foobar" doesn't do what I want.
