It is not searching in the installed packages but in all the packages.
So, to test it, you need to "./pre-inst-env guix pull -p" or something
like that to populate the Xapian index database. Then "./pre-inst-env
guix search" will lookup into.
I mean, it is how I understand it should work. I have not yet looked
into the code.


Cheers,
