Unfortunately, as intuitive as that maybe, it is not the case:
ppm> help search
search -- Search for Packages
. . .
search * Displays all packages in the current repository
Use the search command to look through the repository for packages.
ppm> rep
Repositories:
1. ActiveState PPM2 Repository
* 2. ActiveState Package Repository
3. Jenda
4. RothConsulting
Notice the asterisk (*) preceding repository #2 -- this is a feature
that specifies a current repository.
As much as I often like this feature, I cannot always remember whence to
get a package -- which is a good case for global searching -- hence my
original request.

Dare to fix things before they break . . .
Our capacity for understanding is inversely proportional to how much we
think we know. The more I know, the more I know I don't know . . .
