Another  confusion due to lack of documentation :-). The repodata_search
function actually _can_ retrieve an attribute of a resolvable. Searching
only happens if you leave the solvable id or the attribute id to 0.

The lookup functions are there mainly because it becames tedious to use
a callback just to look for an attribute that should be there.
