[zypp-devel] Enhanced zypper 'search'

Hi all, new zypper-1.8.13 comes with new features for the 'search' command. The major improvements are: * It's possible the specify capabilities for the search strings, i.e. architecture, version and an operation can be included. Example: zypper se 'libzypp.i586>11.6' * Search strings enclosed by '/' are interpreted as a regular expression. Example: zypper se '/^kde/' * Searching for dependencies, means provides, requires, recommends, suggests, conflicts and/or obsoletes of a package is supported and also searching in the file list (if looking for provides, the file list is checked, too). Example: zypper se --requires libzypp Note: The command 'what-provides' is now included in 'search' and is automatically replaced by 'search --match-exact --provides' * The option '--verbose' has been added which shows where the search has matched. This is very useful when searching in dependencies. For more details see 'zypper help search' and 'man zypper'.
