Absolutely true.. and the correct answer there was already given as well: zypper currently supports this "only" usin "zypper wp" (whatprovides).
zypper wp libaa.so.1 => gives full list of packages providing this capability.
As for the feature request: it's questionable why this should be split in different runs indeed... (other than time constraints).
If you are specifically looking for providers of some symbol, you want 'wp' (or something like 'search --what-provides'). You don't want zypper to list packages which have the symbol in names plus the packages which provide it.
While we're at it, i little poll might be in place before implementing this in 'search'.
Would you expect/want 'zypper se something' include packages which mention 'something' in their dependencies (require/provide/suggest/obsolete/conflict) in the default search output? Or would you want this to be opt-in (by adding --deps).
My own preference is to stick with search in names only by default (as it is now), and only consider other stuff for searching (summaries/descriptions/dependencies/whatever) when requested by additional options.
We can also make it configurable in zypper.conf.
In fact I'm looking for the reason libcaca and log4c are failing to build for factory, failing on pdflatex, and rpm -q whatprovides and zypper wp pdflatex failed to find what provides it. I have texlive and at least yast could find it with a file search. Zypper could do with a file search like yast. If nobody else will do it I will make a feature request, when I have a break in my build service work in a few weeks. In reply to Carlos the yast package search couldn't tell me where pdflatex comes from. ATM our package managers and rpm can't find a file in a not installed package and only yast can locate a file in an installed one. The http://packages.opensuse-community.org/ webpin can't even tell me which package I can get pdflatex from and it doesn't work for factory anyway.
