From the man page:
-F <format>, --display-format <format>
Specify the format which should be used to display output
from the search and versions commands. For instance,
passing “%p %V %v” for <format> will display a package's
name, followed by its currently installed version and its
available version (see the section “Customizing how
packages are displayed” in the aptitude reference manual
for more information).
The command-line option --disable-columns is often useful in
combination with -F.
For search, this corresponds to the configuration option
Aptitude::CmdLine::Package-Display-Format; for versions,
this corresponds to the configuration option
Aptitude::CmdLine::Version-Display-Format.
To take your example with the example from the man page:
$ aptitude search -F '%p %V %v' lxc
libclxclient-dev 3.9.0-2 <none>
libclxclient3 3.9.0-2 <none>
lxc 1:1.0.6-6 1:1.0.6-6
lxc-dbg 1:1.0.6-6 <none>
lxctl 0.3.1+debian-3 0.3.1+debian-3
nova-compute-lxc 2014.1.3-9 <none>
