What I meant is that you can search for a full name matching (the name
attribute without the version).

There is no derivation with name 'gcc'.
$ nix-env -qa '*' | grep gcc
trace: Str("Deprecated use of lib.getAttr!",[])
avr-gcc-libc
gcc-upc-4.0.3.5
gcc-wrapper-2.95.3
gcc-wrapper-3.3.6
gcc-wrapper-3.4.6
gcc-wrapper-4.0.4
gcc-wrapper-4.1.2
gcc-wrapper-4.2.4
gcc-wrapper-4.3.3
gcc-wrapper-4.3.3
gccmakedep-1.0.2
llvm-gcc42-2.2


For example, I can do:
$ nix-env -qa irssi
trace: Str("Deprecated use of lib.getAttr!",[])
irssi-0.8.13
