Description
Description of the new feature / enhancement
I want to be able to customize the output for search. I would like to be able to configure the columns displayed as well as the order the columns are presented.
If the "--source" or "-s" option is specified, and more than one source is configured, the output must still display the source. If it is not specified it would be the last column in the display.

Some other package managers display a single value and use multiple values on each line. This work item is not intended to modify the general UX output for that case. Maybe in the future we could consider condensing the display for single value output selections.
