How to add column to `zypper search`?

English Applications
1

I’d like to be able to see in queries which packages are installed without requesting a list of solely the installed packages; like in a file manager, I’d just like to be able to add this attribute column to certain zypper searches using a flag (although if a configuration file exists to allow it to do so by default, that would be superior most of the time).

Is this possible, or should I request something like https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1301322#c0, but perhaps more broadly ecompassing adding an attribute of any available type?

It is lready shown by default for search results.

Please don’t bully me - I think I’ve actually been tired enough to be staring at it for the purpose of making this post, never actually noticing the column.

I don’t see it, @arvidjaar:

Read man zypper what i in the first column means.
