Slackware uses installpkg, and removepkg to install and remove
packages. As for apt-cache search, the slackware equivalent there is
either the slackware distribution archive, or google. Slackware
packages are more or less tar.gz files. 

Also, if you're going to use slackware, then you'd better get used to
building most of what you need from source.
