Wow, cool, I assume it is done by searching in "location" package field (I don't see how it can be implemented otherwise). In emacs interafce there is 'guix-search-params' variable for this purpose. So after: (setq guix-search-params '(name synopsis description location)) "M-x guix-search-by-regexp bioinfo" should also display all packages from "bioinformatics.scm". P.S. I forgot to mention in a message I've just sent that this variable is renamed to 'guix-package-search-params' in wip-refactor-emacs-ui branch. -- Alex
