Description

When a recipe is installed from a remote, Conan looks for packages in the same remote of the recipe.

This behavior could have been potentially different in the past but as explained in here https://github.com/conan-io/conan/issues/5145#issuecomment-496834296 we have good reasons to keep it as is.

This should be documented in the FAQ (to keep the explanation somewhere) as it is relevant information.

Moreover, this behavior changes to the opposite with revisions. To take that into account when writing this info.
