It does list the package name:

"which" is the package name. You can install this package using setup.exe.

What you're asking for is the *category* name, which might be useful but is 
definitely not necessary to install or uninstall the package. You can 
select and install a package without knowing which category it's in by 
switching to the "Full" view in setup.exe.

Re: which

[Igor Pechtchanski]

I'd just like to add for the archives that, if you know you're searching
for a program, you could *prefix* the search string with "bin/", e.g.,
search for "bin/which".  This will include scripts and symlinks.

FWIW, I agree with the suggestion about a search query description.  Care
to write one? ;-)  Including some examples might be best.

Re: which

Thanx.
It'll be nice to have the main package
name in the list too, like
base/which/which-1.5-1....


Thank you,

Re: which

[Randall R Schulz]

Deepa,

If you find daunting the fact that 23 packages included a file whose 
name contained the string "which," I suggest including the file name 
suffix (or in some way narrowing the search by including more 
information about the file you seek). Of course, including ".exe" 
excludes symlinks and scripts, so it's far from a fool-proof method, 
but in many cases it's a useful technique. It works well for libraries 
(".dll" or ".a"), too.

A simple, one-paragraph description of how the search string is 
interpreted would probably enhance the usefulness of the package 
content search function of <http://cygwin.com/packages/> and perhaps 
lighten the load here.

[DEEPA SIVASANKARANE]

Hi all,

  I looked for "which" in the package list and 
got the list below. But I could'nt figure out in
which package it really is, as I ran "setup". Does'nt
seem to be bash or binutils..
Could someone pls. help ?

Thank you,
regards,
Deepa
