pip no longer allows searching + potential mixup wrt broot in docs

[CouldBeThis]

Today I was planning to install broot so I thought it was funny I read about it in this repo's documentation. Must be in the air. However:

$ mpm search broot
warning: Skip unavailable composer manager.
warning: Skip unavailable apm manager.
warning: Skip unavailable pip2 manager.

0 package found (pip3: 0, apt: 0, gem: 0).

Apparently pip search has been closed since last year. Which sucks especially for this project. :(

So I went to the broot website to obtain the package and I notice that they do not mention pip at all. So on investigating that, it turns out the broot package on pypi is actually not the CLI but rather

Library for converting python numpy datastructures to the ROOT output format.

who would think 2 projects would take the same name like that? especially such a weird made up word. But there you go. Perhaps an argument to have a short description or something? No idea how much extra work/resources that would be.

I just implemented this feature upstream in commit 3e89398. It will be available in the upcoming release of mpm v5.4.0.

Here is a preview of the results:
