How about something like this?
[mfratoni@paradox mfratoni]$ cat rpmsearch.sh

#! /bin/sh

for file in /mnt/cdrom/RedHat/RPMS/*.rpm ; do
  DATA=`rpm -qp $file --qf "\[%{NAME}\] -- %{DESCRIPTION}"`
  if `echo $DATA | grep -qi gui` ; then
    echo $DATA
    echo
  fi
done
echo "Search complete."
echo
exit

Run the script as ./rpmsearch.sh > outfile

Each match will look like:
[gtop] -- Gtop is a system monitor for the GNOME GUI desktop environment. 
Gtop provides the same functionality as top, but with a GUI interface.

Of course, it will only help if the packages used the term 'gui' in the 
description of the package.
