Really nice!


On a side note, let notice that the query "guix search text editor"
seems a good example showing some issue with the current 'relevance'
scoring.

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
guix search text editor | recsel -C -P name | head -10
ktexteditor
editorconfig-core-c
editorconfig-vim
java-eclipse-text
vim
vim-full
python-editorconfig
emacs-editorconfig
qemacs
ne
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

And for example, the package Emacs is ranked 19th which is not so-much
satisfactory.

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
guix search text editor | recsel -C -P name | grep -n emacs
8:emacs-editorconfig
9:qemacs
18:guile-emacs
19:emacs
20:emacs-xwidgets
21:emacs-wide-int
22:emacs-no-x
23:emacs-no-x-toolkit
24:emacs-next
25:emacs-minimal
59:emacs-objed
63:emacs-nhexl-mode

Well, another story. :-)
