Maybe because it searches long descriptions.  longdesc contains
arbitrary text, hence you get a lot of unrelated stuff:

  $ tlmgr search --global table | wc -l
  182
  $ tlmgr search --global the | wc -l
  1567

I fear that a dedicated list of reasonable keywords is unavoidable.
Too much output isn't helpful either.

Microsoft isn't the answer. Microsoft is the question, and the answer is NO.
