[OE-core] [PATCH 8/8] devtool: search: tweak help text

* We now match on more than just target recipes, so don't specify that
  only target recipes are searched.
* We're printing the SUMMARY value in addition to the name, so mention
  that so it's clear where that text is coming from.
* Remind users that they should use quotes around the keyword to avoid
  shell expansion when using regular expressions.
