A few quick thoughts –
* There should be a link documenting the search language. Are there Booleans allowed? Is “stemming” automatic? Do quote characters do anything? Is proximity searching available? Regular expressions? What columns are searched? License? Version? Author?
* Immediate feedback of hits as you type is “nice”. IMO suggested completion of search times is nicer.
* Browsing alphabetically by picking a letter provide little to no value
* Full detail of hits in columnar format is preferred over “cards”
Still lurking myself but loving the improvements….
Go Guix,
~Malcolm

CAUTION: This email was received from an External Source
Hello everyone,
This is Danjela, the Outreachy intern at the Guix Data Service.
Taking into consideration the suggestion made in this thread:
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2020-05/msg00096.html, my mentor, Christopher Baines suggested me to write a script that serves a search page for packages using the search functionality within the Guix Data Service, https://data.guix.gnu.org/repository/1/branch/master/latest-processed-revision/packages?search_query=git&field=version&field=synopsis&after_name=&limit_results=100.
The prototype page can be accessed through a test version of the Guix website that Chris deployed: http://guix-website-test.cbaines.net/packages/search
I'd like to know if you find the page useful so that I can hopefully start working on incorporating the search functionality into this page: https://guix.gnu.org/packages/.
Best Regards,
Danjela
