Contributed Arduino libraries not seen

[flatsiedatsie]

As mentioned in this issue a search for a certain library fails, even though the same search in the IDE does work.

To replicate:

• Search for "Seeed BME280" in the Arduino IDE (1.8.8) -> 1 result
• Search for "Seeed BME280" in the Arduino CLI (0.3.3) -> no results

Do the CLI and IDE have different search mechanisms or different databases they search in?

The reason I ask is because I'm building a browser based IDE on top of the CLI. It tries to auto-install libraries, searching for the name in the #include tag. This works for most libraries so far, but failed at this one.

Additionally, when I do a CLI search for "Grove", one of the many items that is found is this:

Name: "Grove - Barometer Sensor BME280"
  Author:  Seeed Studio
  Maintainer:  Seeed Studio <[email protected]>
  Sentence:  Arduino library to control Grove - Temp&Humi&Barometer Sensor(BME280).
  Paragraph:  Arduino library to control Grove - Temp&Humi&Barometer Sensor(BME280).
  Website:  https://github.com/Seeed-Studio/Grove_BME280
  Category:  Sensors
  Architecture:  *
  Types:  Contributed
  Versions:  [1.0.2]

That's the library I'm looking to install.

Yet when I search for "grove bme280" (or capitalised variants of that string), that library is not found, even though both words are in the title of that library.

// update. It seems the name has to be perfectly entered in, down to the dash.

pi@gateway:~/uploader $ ./arduino-cli lib search "Grove - Barometer Sensor BME280"

Any progress?

Probably the IDE searchs in the Author field too, we must do the same thing on the cli too.
