It would be useful to query package index by installer-type, for example to show only portable apps and exes that can be installed in without needing elevated permissions. Since there are several installer-types this would be general solution for a variety of queries.

winget search --installer-type portable,exe,zip

Also consider making available to list command so the local inventory can be assessed:

winget list --installer-type appx,msix

There is the ability to search by tag, winget search --tag portable, but that's not robust or reliable as it only queries metadata which is free form and haphazard.
