### Is Your Feature Request Related To A Problem? Please describe.
Starting vith Chocolatey CLI v2.0.0, changes have been made to the `choco search` command which means that filtering of packages using the --approved-only, --download-cache, and --not-broken options are not performed within Chocolatey CLI, rather than on the repository that is being queried. As a result, it is possible that incomplete pages of packages are returned from a command that uses these options.
### Describe The Solution. Why is it needed?
When querying a remote repository, it should be possible to continue to query the remote repositories until we know that there has been a complete page of data returned from the repository, and not miss any packages that would have been included had the filtered out packages not been included in the result instead.

Research direction
Start by tracing the `choco search` command's handling of `--approved-only`, `--download-cache`, and `--not-broken`, then follow how it queries remote repositories. Done means remote queries continue until a complete page remains after CLI-side filtering, without missing qualifying packages.
