Great addition/improvement, the --search option!

@sivel Could you merge / is there a reason this hasn't been merged?

It would also be helpful to be able to manually specify a target. , because --server ID fails if the server isn't returned by the limited list given by the php page. Edit: I see you are supposed to combine --search with --server. Please merge, works great.

This would also provide a workaround in the interim for the people who find the current --server behaviour too limited.

Nitpick: --list still lists the usual list instead of the search results.

@deliciouslytyped haha, Maybe he forgot his GitHub password

Why was this PR closed without comment? Was it @du5's joke that offended @sivel ?

It would be good to know the reason, for @du5 and potential future contributors.
