npms.io search broken since Jan 2023 (a.k.a. remove search command from package managers or use https://registry.npmjs.org/[query]) #5792
Description
Issue Description
The package manager's search method calls the npms.io API to search for package names.
npms.io has been broken and not updating with new packages since Jan 2023 See npms-io/npms-api#112
One solution would be to switch to the https://registry.npmjs.org/[query] endpoint.
But a better solution imo, would be to remove the search and view commands from npm, pnpm and bun package managers as an opportunity to simplify and reduce code maintenance, given it's been broken a very long time and a dev can just use their package manager directly for those.
