Hi,

Robert Vollmert <rob@vllmrt.net> skribis:

I don=E2=80=99t think that=E2=80=99s a viable approach: sometimes people se=
arch for
libraries, too.

Now =E2=80=98guix search=E2=80=99 could rates leaves of the graph higher, t=
hough I=E2=80=99m not
sure if it should be the default.

Thanks,
Ludo=E2=80=99.
