Linux Package Searcher, or lpackagesearch, is a command line tool to help users find packages. All the user needs to do is say the name of the package they are looking for, and the command looks through all available repositories (flatpak, system packages, snap) to find it. The user is then asked if they would like to install it.

Since different Linux systems use different package managers, I fully added a function to check if each manager is available. Each available manager will then get added to a list. In this example, the program detected that flatpaks are available. It then asked me what package I wanted to look for. It then found the program, in this case discord, and gave its full package name and description.

I added the search functionality. The command asks what package you would like to search for, and then finds it and gives you its id.
