This looks okay, but I'm curious why the perceived need for the change. Is
it mostly because the -p option doesn't work the way you'd expect? It
seems that could be fixed independently.

Well, the reason that returning packages wasn't the default was that the
-p option was non-intuitive. Since this fixes the -p option to do what
it should've always done, it made sense to me to change the default
behavior to be to return packages. I assert, with admitedly no data to
back this up, that the only bit of information that most users care
about most of the time is "which package do I install to get X." The
change in default behavior makes search more useful for the common case
I believe.
