There are IMO two issues with the section that goes:

The web interface at search.nixos.org has a few advantages over the nix search command:

It enables you to select a [release channel](https://zero-to-nix.com/concepts/nixpkgs#release-channels) for [Nixpkgs](https://zero-to-nix.com/concepts/nixpkgs), such as [22.11](https://github.com/nixOS/nixpkgs/tree/22.11) and [unstable](https://github.com/nixOS/nixpkgs/tree/nixpkgs-unstable)

The first issue is that the CLI can also be used to search release channels, which a) could be mentioned; and b) makes this not really an advantage of the website.

The other issue is that this link seems to be broken.

Thanks for an otherwise excellent resource! ❤️

FYI, the broken link has been fixed as of 01aaa02 (by removing it) -- it was a link to a TODO section that we ended up just dropping for the moment.

To be clear, the way to do this is like this?

nix search github:nixos/nixpkgs/nixos-22.11 cargo

vs

nix search nixpkgs cargo

Is there a way to modify the below search through home-manager packages using nix search?

nix search github:nix-community/home-manager
