How do I find a particular piece of software in the repos?

[Jamie Dobbs]

The command sudo apt-cache search joe shows the following:

jamie at Grumpy:~$ sudo apt-cache search joe
cdrskin - limited cdrecord compatibility wrapper for libburn
cl-ubf - Common Lisp Universal Binary Format Library
festvox-suopuhe-lj - Finnish female speaker for Festival
festvox-suopuhe-mv - Finnish male speaker for festival
flight-of-the-amazon-queen - a fantasy adventure game
gidentd - RFC1413 compliant IPv4/IPv6 ident daemon
jftpgw - Joe's FTP Proxy/Gateway
joe - user friendly full screen text editor
jwm - Very small lightweight pure X11 window manager with tray and menus
mg - microscopic GNU Emacs-style editor
newbiedoc - Documentation by and for newbies
amoeba-data - Fast-paced, polished OpenGL demonstration by Excess (data)

Then a simple sudo apt-get install joe should do the trick, but keep in 
mind I do have the universe and multiverse repo's enabled.
