yum search libstdc++ works as expected for me, returning just
libstdc++ package
yum search compat-libstdc++ returns nothing as expected no package by
that name.
yum search libstdc++-33 works as expected for me returning the
compat-libstdc++-33 package
FWIW, instead of search to find a packagename you know use 'yum list'.
since search looks into things like summary descriptions as well. list
only looks at the packagename.
yum list "*libstdc++*"
might returns faster than yum search in some cases.
If you think the documentation of yum needs to be updated to provide
additional information about wildcards.. file a bug with yum upstream.
Preferably with the a first draft set of additional information to be
added to the manpage.
