Highly specific use case. Trivially reproduced by appending
`>/dev/null` to the command line.

I partially agree with you. Indeed it is easily possible to redirect to '/dev/null' using a redirect,

we miss two functionalities here:

1. When you search with yaourt w/o parameters (e.g. 'yaourt package-query') all search results are redirected to '/dev/null', making this useless.

2. The coloring that yaourt uses while outputting is lost.

In that case (specially #1), I don't think this pkg doesn't provide any extra functionality.
