Hi,

== Abstract

((\<Sary|URL:[http://sary.sourceforge.net/](http://sary.sourceforge.net/)\>)) makes `apt-cache search' and `apt-file search’ MUCH FASTER.  
Using apt-sary is very easy!  
Only replace `apt-' with `apt-sary-'.

But .ary files generated by mksary eats much disk space.

It is available at
