This discussion made me realize that "guix search" might benefit from the following improvement though: I think the relevance score for a search result should be increased significantly if the searched word is a standalone (not substring) part of a package's name when the name issplit into dash-separated words.
Thanks for remembering ‘guix search’! It didn't occur to me at all.
For most upstreams whether or not dashes were in vogue[0] when they named their project is literally arbitrary. We'd penalise many other packages like texlive-todonotes, open{ssh,vpn,*}, ktexteditor, r-performanceanalytics, qutebrowser, ... It's not a net win.
If I might pet my own peeve, I think clever heuristics appear necessary in part because %package-metrics grossly overscores package names. Rank them *below* synopsis & description--which will contain the name anyway--with a metric of 1, maybe 2. Enough to keep the relevant stuff above the irrelevant stuff (python- > ruby-, etc.) without distorting things as they do now.
Kind regards, T G-R [0]: Not a joke.
