dotnet CLI should support search of NuGet packages on one or all configured sources

[saturley-hall]

Issue
I would find it useful for the dotnet CLI to enumerate packages (and versions of packages) on a NuGet feed and enable searching of one or more NuGet feeds for keywords, tags, and names of a package.
The desired functionality is similar to the list command of nuget.exe, though hopefully

Proposed Solution
Add a dotnet nuget subcommand ls that has a structure somewhere between grep and and nuget list.
This provides the combined functionality of listing all packages or listing packages that match a user-defined search term which are available on one or more NuGet feeds

nuget ls [OPTION]... [-s PATTERN]... [SOURCE]...:

When passed with no SOURCEs all enabled sources are used and only the most recent Release version are returned.

• -a, --all-versions flag specifies all versions available on the feed are returned sorted in descending order.
• -i, --include-disabled flag specifies use of both enabled and disabled sources.
• -s, --search-term option specifies one or more search terms which will be used to filter packages

When passed with one or more [SOURCE] parameters with the name of an established feed or a URL defining a feed those are the feeds from which packages are listed.

Method of Implementation
While this could be added as a dotnet core tool, and it is fairly similar to dotnet-search (and perhaps should be added there first), it feels like core functionality that should be supported by the CLI without adding a tool.

This was closed without a comment. Isn't this still relevant? I would like this feature at least.

Feel free to reopen.

Sadly I don't have permission for that, or did you mean I should open a new issue? Any rationale for closing it that you could provide?

This actually exists today - the 'dotnet package search' command fills this gap. If there are features or enhancements desired to it, I'd suggest raining a new issue.
