Currently podman search is truncating on the server side, while I believe it should be on the client side.

Currently in order to get the fully description of an image, I have to execute
podman search --no-trunc --format json XYZ
This should happen by default.

Also if we are cleaning up the podman search command, I believe it should be showing me as much description as can show up in the tty, unless I put in another column in the display.

Truncating the description by default seems to ruin the reason I run search.

Final idea would be to add a pager to podman search.

So it would be easy to page up and down and left and write when I run it on a tty.
This would be the equivalent of a podman search --notrunc XYZ | less.

  1. Terminal width is not included in PR because we do not know the width of the text before the description field, the template and tabwriter objects abstract that information away from us.
  2. Cross-platform pagination will require some research, so I did not include it in the associated PR.
