As of version 0.6.11-1 (and for quite a while now), there is
documentation about this feature in:

- section “Search Patterns” in the reference manual, which can be
  accessed through the Help element in aptitude itself, brwosing the
  contents of the package aptitude-doc-${language} (at least -en) and
  on-line

- the man page ("search" command, with some examples and pointing to the
  manual for futher information)

- after this bug report, I just added information to the Help inside
  aptitude, thanks for the suggestion


Cheers.
