To install a package: zypper install packagename
To search for a package: zypper search packagename If you haven't enabled the main community repositories, I recommend you do so, to have more packages available. You can go into Yast2 and click "Community Repositories", or "yast2 inst_productsources" in a terminal. You'll probably want to tick "Main Repository (OSS)", "Main Repository (NON-OSS)" and "Packman Repository". As for the nvidia drivers, the manual ones from the nvidia website technically work, but as on any distro, you need to have the kernel sources installed so it can build the module, and it breaks when you upgrade your kernel. It's much easier just to use the "one-click install", which opens with yast metapackage handler: http://opensuse-community.org/nvidia.ymp That automatically adds the NVIDIA repository and installs the latest version from there. It's much simpler, you don't need the kernel sources, and it still works when you upgrade your kernel. There's also a one-click install for the legacy nvidia drivers, if you have a really old card. http://en.opensuse.org/NVIDIA is a good page to check out.
