I understand the rationale for simplifying the resultlist, but it would 
be awesome if one could ask for an alternate presentation (slower 
performing obviously).

Having the package version and source repository listed is very helpful 
in a lot of situations.

Yes, as I said I know I can use "list" in many situations (whenever the 
package name is known), but it does not provide the same level of recall 
as "search" would.

A typical example would be searching for apache :
yum list '*apache*'

will not return the actual httpd package, as it does not have apache in 
the title..


Thanks for clarifying anyway.
