My machine has a package called libvncclient0 on it. When in yast2 I do a search for "lib client0" I get no results, even thought those words are contained in a package that exists, and I have name selected. If I select regular expressions search mode instead of contains and search for "lib*client0", it still gives me no results.

I suppose you are talking about the Qt frontent.

Yast takes the input as one word so "lib client0" is used literally as written. And that is obviously not found.

And "lib*client0" is wrong regular expression, it would match e.g. "libbbbclient0" or "liclient0" - so again no match.

The correct regexp is "lib.*client0", that works for me.

Or you can switch to Wild Card matching and use "lib*client0" (like in shell) - that also works correctly.

Can you explain why it would not search individually for lib and client0 terms as it should instead of interpreting the space litterally? I don't think package names can even have spaces, so it makes sense to fix it not searching of each word, like other package managers such as synaptic does.
