I mostly find it helpful when helping people on irc, because I don't need to wait for zypper / yast to refresh repo's. For this sort of thing the search works much better and results are presented nicer then the search on build.opensuse.org as atleast some filtering is applied.
Zypper and YaST searches AFAICT are useless when you know what you're looking for is in some non-configured repo and have no idea which or even whether any repo has it. I'm constantly annoyed by web pages that presume an app I'm searching for is to be installed on the system used to perform the search. More often than not here, that's not the case. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive." Proverbs 16:21 (New Living Translation) Team OS/2 ** Reg.
