The only thing I could really think about is the yum_ commands:

[root@a5a135be4025 /]# which yum
/usr/bin/yum
[root@a5a135be4025 /]# yum clean all
Failed to set locale, defaulting to C

CentOS Linux release 8.0.1905 (Core)

Adding search support would require a new bridge, but it's probably a lot of copy and paste between dnf and yum.
