The common use case is to search for packages containing multiple words like a "git" "frontend". Having only one expressions makes this simple regular use case very complicated. Instead, search accepts multiple regular epressions which all need to match. nix search git 'gui|frontend' returns a list of all git uis for example |

Nix, the purely functional package manager
Nix is a new take on package management that is fairly unique. Because of its purity aspects, a lot of issues found in traditional package managers don't appear with Nix.
To find out more about the tool, usage and installation instructions, please read the manual, which is available on the Nix website at http://nixos.org/nix/manual.
