Research direction

Start by reproducing `choco find picpick` with Chocolatey 0.10.15 and compare it with the community.chocolatey.org package search. Trace the CLI search entry point and the web search behavior to identify why their results differ. Done means the CLI returns the expected PicPick result or the issue documents the required argument and intended behavior.
