Tom=C3=A1=C5=A1 =C4=8Cech <sleep_walker@suse.cz> reported on IRC that 'sear=
ch-patch'
failed to find a patch he had put into DIR/gnu/packages/patches/, where
DIR was in $GUIX_PACKAGE_PATH.  Adding DIR to GUILE_LOAD_PATH fixed the
problem.

Also, it would be good to improve the error message when 'search-patch'
fails.  This is what he reported seeing:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
guix/packages.scm:374:17: In procedure #<procedure 47c70c0 at guix/packages=
.scm:372:9 (number patch)>:
guix/packages.scm:374:17: Throw to key `match-error' with args `("match" "n=
o matching pattern" #f)'.
