The HPC Guix Browse page relies a bit too much on JavaScript for my
liking, it would be nice to have a search interface that doesn't use
JavaScript (or at least doesn't have to).
Maybe there could be a small Guile app to serve
https://guix.gnu.org/packages/search that just serves one page, a search
page for packages.
That could use the search functionality from data.guix.gnu.org [3], and
then provide links to the relevant package page (like [4]).
