The problem with this 'zypper search' command is that the set of installed packages (--installed-only option) that are in the repository (--repo X) shrinks over time as the repo gets updated, with older package versions removed.
Well, zypper was created for a stable release where packages never disappear, they are only added (all patches released by SUSE for a specific release are kept available). It simply was not designed with rolling release in mind.
