Description of the new feature / enhancement

When using the "winget search" command, it would be nice to have a column at the end that would alert me to the fact that this package is already installed. When searching for and installing similar apps, it would let me know which ones are already installed (and I can therefore ignore) and which ones I should check out, which is helpful especially when you have a lot of programs on your PC and don't remember all of them at all times.

Proposed technical implementation details

BUMP Any feedback would be much appreciated. Silence not.

@denelon How do you triage new "features"? And if approved what is the ETA?
