New command 'search'

[Issif]

What would you like to be added:

A new command search:

• to search for rules, lists and macros
• the search can be global among all rules listed in the registries or filtered/scoped
• the search can be by registry, by rule name, by priority, by source, by source version, by status (enabled/disabled), by engine version
• allow to search for the dependencies of the rules (macros/lists), of the macros (macros/lists)
• allow to search for the "children" of "macros" and "lists" (rules using them)
• the search can be global among all rules listed in the registries or filtered/scoped

Why is this needed:

This will allow the users to find the rules files to install for their use cases, and see more easily what attack patterns are covered

Hey @Issif, Iam new to Go and cncf in general. I was exploring some projects to contribute to and came across this issue. Will i (being completely new to the code base) able to help in resolving this issue ?

Hi and welcome @TusharMohapatra07,

This feature might be hard for a beginner in Go and with the project, it requires a lot of skills and deep understanding of the usages from the users. We discussed with @alacuku about it, we should expose more specs if you want to do it anyway.

@Issif Thanks for your consideration. I'll probably study the codebase a little bit and then try working on this. Please don't assign me this issue as we may lose any potential contributor who might fix this issue quickly and efficiently. I'd love to have a chat with you and the team about the project so please do share any public channel for this.
