I think it's unchanged for a while now, I've attached what's probably
the latest source code (there's not much to it).

I think the remaining work is to settle on a direction in terms of the
design and how to integrate it in to the website, and then deploy
something for real. Personally, I'm in favour of a packages.guix.gnu.org
domain which hosts the search page plus the package pages, and stopping
generating package pages with haunt.

I don't really have the time to try and move this forward myself, but I
can try and support others.
