'--searchpath' not working properly on Cordova 11.1

[whilename]

Bug Report

Problem

In Cordova 11.1, when using the '--searchpath' command to specify the local registry address when adding a plug-in, if the added plug-in and the dependency are in the same directory, it uses the network registry instead of the same directory to search, resulting in the failure to add the plug-in and dependency correctly.

What is expected to happen?

When you specify the plug-in registry using '--serchpath', if the plug-in to be added is in the same root directory as the dependent plug-in, the registry should be searched in the same root directory first.

What does actually happen?

When the plug-in to be added is in the same root directory as the dependent plug-in, it does not search the registry in the same root directory first. Instead, it accesses the network registry search directly. As a result, the specified dependent plug-in cannot be found and stops working.

Here is the command history I hid the registry name, plugin name and version for business reason
