>From the message of the pointed patch, only `guix package -A` uses this new cache. If I understand well. I mean, this cache is loaded in the function `fold-available-packages' used by the option `--list-available` but not in the functions used by the option `--search`. Ludo pointed the commit 94aeec0aef03ab44e41bfc3e77c3b623cb3d607c which improves the search by doing directly on the raw Texinfo instead. Maybe you remembered this one. Thank you to pointing me this patch, now I know a bit more about the internals. Not sure to understand well. :-) All the ebst, simon
