Upthread I started the discussion of criteria for file search:
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2022-01/msg00354.html
Among them, there’s privacy and support for off-line operation. To meet
these criteria, I think we should refrain from sending individual file
search requests to the server, and instead have the option of fetching a
full database.
