I've never worked with YAST and with SuSE only on an introductory level.

James Sumners got the gui interfaces bit (which is good, because I 
didn't know of any). It does have a search capability (apt-cache 
search).

The lack of a GUI interface shouldn't be a problem as the OP was 
looking for a solution for remote management which in my mind implies 
command line (yes, yes, X11 forwarding exists... but really... ew).
