@tchauhan@mastodon.mit.edu I think it depends.
What are you searching for? Just package names/descriptions, or metadata like priority/dependencies/section/etc...?
Also, what is the new apt search API? I couldn't immediately find any information about that. Hard to compare without that info.

@aspragg@ohai.social I was searching for name and version number only. I have been using Debian since 2004 or so and apt did not exist then. Didn't like apt-get so the way I learnt to install/upgrade was aptitude, which I use as a CLI rather than a TUI.
