Regarding Using the DNF software package manager
The following suggestion is taken from a thread on discussion
" Fedora RPM (Description)
For this one, I want the document can highlight the difference of $ sudo dnf install $ dnf install $ sudo dnf search $ dnf search
Last time I checked, even after $dnf serach, then following by $sudo dnf install, dnf still need to download and precess all the meta data again. As those are separate between different users."
See: https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/46229/5
With or without sudo, both commands do not force a sync of expired metadata.
To synchronize all enabled repositories, run dnf search or install with the --refresh or the --cacheonly switch as you wish.
There is a thread on DNF expiration check.

Upstream doc on Metadata Synchronization will do.

search command is supposed to run without sudo. No need for additional comments in QD.
