 Ahh, I see what you mean, for some reason I read your query as asking
for case insensitive search.

 The 3.2.8 version will come with case sensitive highlighting of search
terms[1], and yum already searches for multiple terms if you give them
(as does yum list).
 But, no, noone is thinking about extending the yum search command
atm. ... although the yum python module has a well defined API for
search.

[1] Although this is mainly an implementation detail that re.escape()
and re.sub() don't allow case insensitive operation, I can't see that
being fixed ... and so could be regarded as a feature :).
