Right, the page was exported in locale encoding (which happened to be
ASCII on hydra.gnu.org) instead of UTF-8.  Fixed in 1bc4c07.

I’m not sure what you mean by pagination.

What would be ideal would be to use the JS code found in guix-web
<https://git.dthompson.us/guix-web.git> that allows users to search for
packages (basically all the package data would still be available in the
client, just not displayed.)

WDYT?

(I’m not offering to help with this code, though. :-))

Thanks,
