What's the problem this feature will solve?
Some PyPI projects have zero past releases, or have released distributions in the past but then deleted the distributions. When users search for projects, they are probably searching for packages they can download, and may be frustrated if the results include projects without any downloadable files.
Describe the solution you'd like
Either by default, or as a faceted search option, in search results, we could filter out packages that don't have downloadable distributions available.
