To be clear, guix-website-test actually makes a search query on a Data Service instance, right? I guess that explains part of the slowness, but maybe we could tweak nginx to keep search results in cache for a few hours. Florian raised an important issue regarding the possibility of denial of service. Ideas on how to mitigate that, either in the Data Service, or nginx at guix.gnu.org? > I'd like to know if you find the page useful so that I can hopefully start > working on incorporating the search functionality into this page: > https://guix.gnu.org/packages/. I’d be happy to see that happen! We would need the changes against guix-artwork.git as well as (maybe) changes to the nginx config in maintenance.git. How should we proceed? Thanks! Ludo’.
