Why do you have the "<>" syntax at all?  I would completely expect to
define the result type with a flag to the search subcommand.  What happens
if you search for  "<token1> AND token2"?

I think you should put a couple of examples of the new search stuff in
pkg(1).  In fact, you might have to clean up the search example that's
there; I'm not sure if it's correct now.

It should probably be in its own package.  SUNWply is fine for now.

Do you have a deadline for code review comments?
