I'd lose "searched".  How about the following?

  These commands can now print only the entities whose names and/or
  types match the specified regular expressions.

"informative messages", I guess?

Thanks.
  

Thanks for the review, I will do the updates as suggested
in this and the other mail.

One question below.

These are the messages explaining why no entity was printed, e.g
  (gdb) info arg -t xxxx yyyy
  No matching arguments.
  (gdb) info arg -q -t xxxx yyyy
  (gdb) 

  (gdb) info arg -t xxxx yyyy   
  No symbol table info available.
  (gdb) info arg -q -t xxxx yyyy
  (gdb) 

So, what about (like in the texinfo doc):          The flag -q
   disables printing headers or messages explaining why no entities
   have been printed.
?

Fine with me, thanks.
