Thanks for your clarification.
Not to draw this out, but to briefly address your points:

* can be field 2 without any drawback when passing it on
* 'apt list' produces search output preferable to 'apt search' (anecdotal and 
ymmv: both users I've discussed this with agree)
* could have been a chance to clean up a rarely used part of the interface

apt still lacks the convenience of other tools: apt-cache, aptitude and
yum all sport more comfortable search.

It seems the decision is made and this report has run its course...
could you please hint about the chance of the apt dev team accepting
design changing patches?
