You're welcome.
I assumed that you only wanted installed packages because I thought
that dpkg -l was meant for installed packages...
For all packages, run
aptitude -F %a%c %p %v %d search parted
(I have inverted the action and current states of my first post to use
dpkg -l's order)
Or, just with dpkg
dpkg -l *parted*
Or with apt-cache (using Aaron's post)
dpkg -l $(apt-cache search parted | awk '{print $2}' | tr '\n' ' ')
So you could also run, to get the same output as with dpkg -l
dpkg -l $(aptitude search -F %p parted | tr '\n' ' ')
I am not sure that tr ... is needed but I don't have a Debian box at
hand to check.

No need for dpkg.

One key point is that the output should include every package returned
by
apt-cache search SearchTerm
show whether or not they are installed.

1) First, here are all the packages apt-cache returns:
