Hi swedebugia,

 Yest=
erday when I played around with guix I noticed that the default
 behavio=
r of
 $ guix package --search
 guix package: error: invalid argument:=
 Missing required argument after
 `--search'

 has changed recentl=
y from showing all packages to now showing none=2E

 also:

 $ =
guix package --search *
 guix package: error: invalid argument: Missing =
required argument after
 `--search'

 This is a bug=2E "*" should =
match everything=2E

This is not a bug=2E

The arg=
ument must be separated from the option with an =E2=80=9C=3D=E2=80=9D=2E  T=
he second
problem is that =E2=80=9C*=E2=80=9D is not a regular expressio=
n but a shell glob
pattern=2E  You need to provide a regular expression=
=2E  This works:

    guix package --search=3D=2E*

Thanks!
We should document the regex syntax = and an example I think=2E
