pip search fails

[beegmon]

I am using python 2, so I think search should work and I have the appropriate [search] in my pip.conf file. However, when issuing a search with pip, pyshop reports the following:

[pyshop.security][waitress] [x.x.x.x] POST Current request matches no route

I am running the latest pyshop version installed via pip.

updating pip.conf to the following seems to fix the error, though I'm not sure if the index parameter is used elsewhere...

[search]
index = pip:changeme@localhost:8000/pypi/xmlrpc

@mardiros does changing this on the client's config solve this problem without making new ones? If so I would be happy to update the documentation and send over a PR
