Bug Description
The argument QUERY of the "bzr search" command is not documented at all. What queries can be used? NEWS hints about some, but that is nowhere close to being enough.
Please add some minimal documentation, or a pointer to where it is available.

Good question!
Knowing that bzr-search was written by Robert (who is a mad genius of
testing, but not quite so much about documentation) I looked in the
tests/ directory, and saw that you can either give it a series of
words, or you can ask for negative matches by prefixing them with a
dash
bzr search -- with -without
where the -- is required so that it doesn't look like an option.
It's a bit like ctags/etags in that it searches an index of words. I
don't think it can take regexps.
