apt-cache search only shows you the names of the packages, not their
version.  In the case of the kernel, the package name includes a release
number, but the package itself has a different version.

apt-get update only updates the list of available packages.  apt-get upgrade
actually downloads and installs the latest versions.

sudo apt-get install linux-k7 will give you the latest kernel, and keep you
up to date with future upgrades.
