Is Your Feature Request Related To A Problem? Please describe.

we have multiple sources configured within chocolatey so when using choco search we are unable to take the output and differentiate between sources.

specifically we use choco search --limitoutput to get a list of packages in csv type format we have in our choco repo server (source) to determine if there are newer versions to include in a monthly update job. with only one source this is fine. now have multiple sources due to a parent company mandate so the results have multiple versions with no method to distinguish one package from the other in the output; yes, i can choco search specific sources but this is not the point and requires multiple searches to be performed which is significantly slower and requires additional code.

Describe The Solution. Why is it needed?

adding the source name to the choco search output, or adding a parameter like --include-source-in-output, to include when using --limitoutput for a csv type format, would greatly help to narrow down needed packages.
