pip search fails [23.2.1]

[ghmon]

Description

pip claims to support a "search" command when invoked without parameters or with "pip help".

"pip search " fails with:

ERROR: XMLRPC request failed [code: -32500]
RuntimeError: PyPI no longer supports 'pip search' (or XML-RPC search). Please use https://pypi.org/search (via a browser) instead. See https://warehouse.pypa.io/api-reference/xml-rpc.html#deprecated-methods for more information.

Expected behavior

Either the hint to a search command should be removed, or a search command should be implemented.
