Search results missing some packages

rmanne commented 10 months ago

Describe the bug

I'm not sure how many packages are impacted, but I can confirm that at least 1 package is missing from search. Direct link to the search results.

Couldn't find a bug template, so copied over the one from nixpkgs and removed some irrelevant sections.

Steps To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Search for "yabai" (direct link)
Observe that there are no packages found
Run nix-shell -p yabai
Observe it works, that there exists a package with the name "yabai". (Run which yabai to confirm such a binary has been installed.)

Expected behavior

Searching for "yabai" should display the corresponding package, found here: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/nixos-unstable/pkgs/os-specific/darwin/yabai/default.nix#L8

search does seem to find a related package which is configured in a similar way, in around the same path: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/nixos-unstable/pkgs/os-specific/darwin/skhd/default.nix#L43

I'm not sure why the latter shows up in search.nixos.org but the former doesn't.

Screenshots

Indeed, all packages that are not available on Linux are not shown.

Another package that isn't shown: atk.

But this one is actually available on Linux

Another package that isn't shown: atk.

Where is that even defined? I can only find atkmm in the nixpkgs source. There's no directory named "atk" (find . -type d -name atk returns nothing), and no .nix file containing the string name = "atk". How can you even install that package?
