"Good idea" was rather refering to showing installed software in searches, not specifically to providing a checkbox option for it. And I said I think best solution would be to do it by default.
Why not doing a "browse packages" interface, independent from any
install/uninstall consideration, with all information we can find in the
install rpmdrake. And then depending on the fact the package is already
installed or not, there would be an install/remove button. You may even add
Yes, why not having rpmdrake-1 back? :))

But actually the solution to make rpmdrake installer search in installed by default is, finally, exactly what rpmdrake 1 was doing !! You will have both installed and to-be-installed packages in the same search list !
The point was : why would newbies be confused by an interface that makes the package browsing, and then offers install/uninstall options ? Don't you think that make the installed packages appear in the rpmdrake installer even more confusing ?
