apt-get: How do i remove software without knowing the package name?

[Sureshot324]

Is there any easy way to find the package name of a piece of software so i can remove it with apt-get? Is there a way to see a list of all the packages on my computer?

 

[Crusty]

apt-cache search search_text

that will list any packages that match the criteria.

 

[Brazen]

apt-get remove * ?
