Regarding the search term
  ?upgradable ~U Select packages that are installed and can be upgraded.

1. It's not clear if this is the exact same set of packages as:
       safe-upgrade
            ...Packages which are not currently installed may be
            installed to resolve dependencies unless the
            --no-new-installs command-line option is supplied.

So do clarify their relationship in the docs.

2. Even if it is, there's still no search term to match the packages
       being upgraded or newly installed by:

       full-upgrade
           Upgrades installed packages to their most recent version, removing
           or installing packages as necessary. This command is less
           conservative than safe-upgrade and thus more likely to perform
           unwanted actions. However, it is capable of upgrading packages that
           safe-upgrade cannot upgrade.

3. And then there is also two sets of packages that will be removed,
one for safe-upgrade and one for full-upgrade. So perhaps make search
terms for them too.

Or maybe for all this one should just use -s and parse the results oneself...
