There are many things to hate about yum, but it can do searches.
Oh, and back to the original hate, CentOS at least has the configs in
a slightly more sane setup. From the manpage:
FILES
/etc/yum.conf
/etc/yum/repos.d/
/etc/yum/pluginconf.d/
/var/cache/yum/
yum.conf should probably move into /etc/yum, but otherwise it isn't
quite as nutso as the variant being complained about.
I do however second the CPU+memory-eating hate. I expect it's doing
dep-tracking in some very naive way. It is however still better than
up2date was, which counts as "damning with faint praise" in my book.

There's stuff above here
