[STR New]

On CUPS v1.7.5 on CentOS 6, the "Search in Printers" feature at
http://HOSTNAME:631/printers/ only searches and returns printer names. I
have confirmed this is also the case with CUPS v2.0.0 on OS X Yosemite
Public Beta.

In previous versions of CUPS (v1.3.7 on CentOS 5), the "Search in Printers"
feature of http://HOSTNAME:631/printers/ could be used to search for
different parts of the URI like connection type (LPD, socket, etc) or IP
address.

Workaround: The workaround is to use lpstat -v | grep <SEARCHTERM> but this
requires SSH access to the CUPS print server.

Additional info: It looks like feature request STR# 4429 was opened for
this in June 2014 but the functionality was previously available in CUPS. I
view this as a regression bug and not a new feature request.
