Ask HN: Why is `pip search` still in pip help?

To my understanding, the search endpoint for pip was disabled permanently several versions back, yet it still shows up on the list on pip help commands. Is this just an oversight or there are plans to revive it?

it is no longer available. It is possible that it still shows up on the list of pip help commands due to oversight or because the help commands have not been updated since the endpoint was disabled. There is no indication in the search results that there are current plans to revive the search endpoint for pip.
