Isn't this best left to the GUI tools (pirut, PackageKit, whatever)?

In those tools it's natural to search for a package and then click on
the result and install it. This is the equivalent of "search miro;
install Miro" in yum shell, but with a GUI that actually encourages the
use of the search functionality.
