Better status filtering in Library and Boards Manager, especially for updates

[ckuethe]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Nope, doesn't seem like an existing open problem

Describe the solution you'd like
I would like to see something similar to the status dropdown in the old IDE to select board/libraries with available updates.

I tried typing installed, type:installed, and status:installed in the search field and it didn't show me only my installed libraries instead of all the libraries available. Nor did updatable and upgradable show me those which had available updates. Finally, I didn't find a way to force a check for updates or to see when updates were last checked.

Describe alternatives you've considered
As mentioned above, tried a few obvious guesses in the search bar to filter on some criteria. Also tried right-clicking on the library and board manager icons but those also didn't trigger any filtering options.

I did RTFM but didn't see information about filtering and updates on
https://www.arduino.cc/en/Tutorial/getting-started-with-ide-v2/ide-v2-installing-a-library/
https://www.arduino.cc/en/Tutorial/getting-started-with-ide-v2/ide-v2-board-manager/

Additional context
Looks like someone else wants this feature too (https://forum.arduino.cc/index.php?topic=730437.0) but I didn't see it when I looked through the issues here, so I figured I'd open an issue.

thank you @ckuethe
this is definitely one of the missing features.
We are going to release a better search for the next Beta but filtering is not in there yet.

It'll come :)

Thank you! I'm really enjoying the new IDE and I appreciate all the work that has gone into it so far.

Old IDE has reminder/notification about available boards/libraries updates and prebuild filter for the boards and libraries with available updates. It is more useful and convenient way, than typing the filter criteria again and again every time your remember that you need to check for updates yourself manually.

Just downloaded IDE 2.0.0-beta.9. There is apparently not yet a Library Manager feature providing selection of ALL, UPDATABLE, INSTALLED, ARDUINO,... . This selection feature in the previous Library Manager is needed in the new IDE IMHO.

Still not present, it is very needed feature. I can not find what is installed, and what is not.

[mklemarczyk]

It is not possible with any workaround as the the library manager does not show all available libraries. Even with scrolling entire list I can not find libraries that I could update. Can you change the priority? The IDE is not very usable without this feature. I have to use old libraries.

A big project and the effort is appreciated.
I'm "plus one-ing" the request(s) that the 2.0 Library Manager support all the functionality of the 1.8 Library Manager.
Priority would be:

1. Filters for "Installed", "Updatable". Very high priority.
2. Toggle to show only the Library title in the list
3. Option to pick & install a specific library version
4. Install .zip libraries
5. Notifications of available updates to installed libraries and installed boards

Please consider implementing at least filters for installed and updatable libraries.
Still can't tell which libraries can be updated in
