Feature request: Docker search cli doesn't adhere to docker [object] [verb] style

[franklouwers]

Description

The "new" docker cli commands all adhere to the docker [object] [verb] command. So we new prefer docker container run over docker run, docker image rm over docker rmi etc.

However, docker search still uses the old docker [verb] command, and it seems there's no modern variant available.

As all other commands that interact with a registry (be it private or the hub) are verbs on the image object, I would have expected docker image search to work. Yet it doesn't. Is there a particular reason for this?

Output of docker version:

(but happens in 18.09.2 as well)

So then should docker [image] rmi work then? I still have to use docker rmi [image]

@ikunat33 "rmi" is a bastard. "rm" already existed (for removing containers), so they made it rmi. The real command is docker image rm
