yes. this requires for you to have base source for the release you are following checked out so you can apply patches from errata to. > To update a -CURRENT, you just have to pick a bsd.rd on the openBSD sites > and boot on it and you're on the track ? either you frequently build from src and keep a close eye on "following -current" page as it is updated, or you can use snapshots to upgrade to.

I'm not exactly sure what you mean by "search packages" but reading pkg_add(1) and related man pages may be of help. > Does openBSD has a boot manager like Grub or Boot0 for FreeBSD ?
