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

In the help for the choco search command, the --all-versions option states:

-a, --all, --allversions, --all-versions
     AllVersions - include results from all versions.

While this is technically true, I feel it could be expanded to be clearer and have more detail. Before I got clarification, I would've expected that passing --all-versions would get me all versions; prereleases included. I'd like to see the help changed to be clearer with what's actually happening, like this:

-a, --all, --allversions, --all-versions
     AllVersions - include results from all stable versions. To include results for all packages, add --prerelease to the command.

Or something similar. I'm happy to workshop this more until we get it where we like it.

Describe The Solution. Why is it needed?

Clear documentation provides users with the ability to help themselves. Documentation can never be too helpful.
