List dependency feature flag in cargo search foo

[flipchan]

Problem

Hey,
Is it possible to add the option for listing feature flags with cargo search?
It would be really handy to be able to:

cargo search --show-features foo

Right now there is no option for viewing feature flags with cargo search so the user got to go to crates.io and check the feature flags.

Proposed Solution

cargo search --show-features foo

Notes

Functionality to display feature flags with cargo search

[epage]

We have a separate request for a cargo info which imo would be a better fit for this as the intent and display format for cargo search wouldn't quite work well for this.

Workarounds:

• Install cargo info
• Run cargo add foo --dry-run (you could make an alias of this if you want)

This does seem like something that would be nice to have. I agree that it probably doesn't fit with cargo search very well. I'm going to close as a duplicate of #948, which I think would be a potentially good use case for this, as well as the existing cargo add --dry-run and cargo info.
