Improve search on code.dlang.org

[pbackus]

Description

The search feature on code.dlang.org often fails to return relevant results for the user's query.

• Packages whose names include the search term as a substring are not found.
• A search for the exact name of a package sometimes fails to find it.

What are rough milestones of this project?

Fixing the issues linked above, dlang/dub-registry#93 and dlang/dub-registry#417.

How does this project help the D community?

Improving code.dlang.org's search would make it easier for D programmers to find existing packages to use and/or contribute to.
