Yast will work on a console as well. It doesn't make sense to use a non-standard app (apt) to update your packages on Suse. It won't keep your rpm database properly updated.
Now you got me curious. Apt will use the same RPM files as Yast and underneath will use the same rpm executable to install them. How should that lead to differences or even a not properly updated rpm database? Or did I miss something? But I agree that yast shouldn't be too difficult either. The trick as you said is simply typing a name to the search field and see what comes up.
