Search engine for NixOS, nix-darwin, home-manager and NUR users

Searchix

Build Status

A search tool to find options and packages in the NixOS ecosystem. Aims to be like search.nixos.org with more sources:

There is an instance running at searchix.alanpearce.eu, which uses the following channels, with updates attempted daily:

You can also run it yourself, if you’re feeling bold. It’s quite lightweight!

Status

Beta

Expect breakage. Search results are not expected to match the quality of search.nixos.org, the priority is more on having multiple sources in one location.

Feel free to report bugs at codeberg.

Motivation

I missed having a tool like search.nixos.org but for nix darwin and home manager[^1].

I wanted to contribute something to the nix community. 🩵

Also, I wanted to learn Go!

Goals

Future

Developing

See docs/developing.md

[^1]: It was only during development that I found Home Manager Option Search
