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

Subject: [Guix Website] A Search Page for Packages

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
