It looks like the Helm repo search functionality only available since v3.0.0.

Even I tried using the latest v2.16.7 version, still no luck.

$ helm version
Client: &version.Version{SemVer:"v2.16.7", GitCommit:"5f2584fd3d35552c4af26036f0c464191287986b", GitTreeState:"clean"}"

$ helm repo add bitnami https://charts.bitnami.com/bitnami

$ helm search repo bitnami/postgresql
No results found

But it works well with version 3.0.0 or above.
