Research direction

Start by reading the linked winget-cli-restsource issue #101 and tracing how the winget-cli search command currently queries package metadata. No files, tests, or technical implementation are identified in this issue, so first determine the affected search and source interfaces. Done means publisher-based search is supported and covered by appropriate tests.
