Earlier I used to search for packages at http://packages.trisquel.info/ which facilitated for searching of packages through Trisquel's repositories like that of https://packages.ubuntu.com/ but recently I have been finding that http://packages.trisquel.info/ just provides index, not the facility of searching packages.

So, How do I search for packages on Trisquel's repositories?

Thanks.

apt search
apt-cache
aptitude

Or graphically -- use Synaptic.

This is only applicable to work from the machine on which Trisquel is installed whereas with the help of http://packages.trisquel.info/ I used to search packages anytime from anywhere.

Use the live ISO in a Virtual Machine.

Or -- search a mirror for packages.

https://ftp.acc.umu.se/mirror/trisquel/packages/dists/flidas/main/

For instance, download file 'Packages.bz2' and extract it. Then, search in Terminal 'cat Packages | grep filezilla' (if say the package you look for is named 'filezilla'). It will show you every item that contains 'filezilla'.

There's still this:
