What is confusing about finding Nix packages? Just go to search.nixos.org

There has been a trend in software dev towards solving problems that don’t need solved. I’ve never been confused about how to find packages for nix.

It's genuinely nice to have a CLI frontend for search.nixos.org, so I wouldn't call it a problem that doesn't need solving. But the rant about not being able to search packages is simply wrong IMHO.

Or `nix search nixpkgs <query>`
