profile removal: Fixed in https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/6086 https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/6086 search speed: $ time nix search nixpkgs ripgrep * legacyPackages.x86_64-linux.ripgrep (13.0.0) A utility that combines the usability of The Silver Searcher with the raw speed of grep * legacyPackages.x86_64-linux.ripgrep-all (0.9.6) Ripgrep, but also search in PDFs, E-Books, Office documents, zip, tar.gz, and more * legacyPackages.x86_64-linux.vgrep (2.6.0) User-friendly pager for grep/git-grep/ripgrep real 0m0.514s user 0m0.494s sys 0m0.019s We're trying to improve the UX with the new CLI. Precisely to improve the developer experience and quality. Any other major gripes?

Yeah, the UX for the new search although faster is more of a problem for me. When it returns `legacyPackages.x86_64-linux.ripgrep` that makes me think "oh no, I don't want the legacy package. I want the good one", but no non-legacy package is returned. Also the name is confusing, it return `x86_64-linux` on linux and `x86_64-darwin` but why does that information need to be included? Then it brings up the problem if I need to install with the whole long string or if I can just install with `ripgrep`. The other big grip I have with the new CLI is the installed packages.

  Okay. Looks like there is an issue for duplicate profile entries already; just hasn’t gotten attention. https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/5587 https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/5587 I’ll take a look. The verbosity of “legacyPackages.x86_64-linux.ripgrep” in the search results may be too much. We can omit the default portions or provide the full detail somewhere less prominent.
