Provide a detailed description of the proposed feature

A flag for brew install that uses the same functionality as brew search but lets you interactively select the package you want to install.

What is the motivation for the feature?

In all my years of using brew, I often need to do brew search xyz to find the particular package name before doing brew install xyz-manager after learning the exact package name.

How will the feature be relevant to at least 90% of Homebrew users?

I haven't surveyed anyone, but I think many people would have this issue. Maybe it can be checked through telemetry?

What alternatives to the feature have been considered?

Just doing brew search or even slower — going to the website or Google.

I could work on this, not very versed with Ruby so will need some direction but from what I could understand I would need to use functions from Library/Homebrew/search.rb and imitate what's being done in Library/Homebrew/cmd/search.rb in Library/Homebrew/cmd/install.rb.

Passing on this, sorry. It's a good fit for an external command.

wdym external command, like a different cli? In what way could I approach that?
