Of course, "rpm -qa | grep package" will still work, because urpmi is an adjunct to rpm, and you can use whichever is more appropriate for the task at hand - you have them both installed. I use the urpm* tools for most things (and *always* for installing/upgrading packages), but when I want to restrict a query to installed packages only, I just use rpm.
