This is a great search engine. Have you considered making this into a command line tool? I think it would be much more practical to have this tool available when I'm using elm-package install
Maybe just writing >elm-search search-term, list results with numbers, press correct number and run elm-package install with the selected package.
Yes, this is something on my list of things I would like to have. At the moment there is something undocumented in the server-playground branch, but this gives you only JSON search results over http.
I'm more interested to provide a CLI for editor integrations, but something manual like you described could be a good starting point...
I can't promise any timeframe at the moment as I want to have some other (organisational and internal) parts settle a bit.
A CLI with editor integrations seems like a very useful tool. Always difficult having enough time :)
Not sure if have time to help out, but you could create some issues if you want help with specific features.

Yes, that's the plan.
Just started checking out Elm and I am shocked that this tool is not on the front page of the official website!
Why "hoogle" like search for Elm like elm-search are not mainstream? I mean http://package.elm-lang.org/ is quite useless if you have no idea on which package might have the function you are looking for... I think.
Anyway I hope I'll be able to help on this particular issue in the future when I'll get fluent with Elm. For the moment 👍
Have you thought about integration elm-console and integrating existing code for a proof of concept?
elm-console does not work with the current version of Elm. I will get back to implementing a CLI, but there is not timeline...
