Wow, cool, I assume it is done by searching in "location" package field
(I don't see how it can be implemented otherwise).  In emacs interafce
there is 'guix-search-params' variable for this purpose.  So after:

  (setq guix-search-params '(name synopsis description location))

"M-x guix-search-by-regexp bioinfo" should also display all packages
from "bioinformatics.scm".


P.S.  I forgot to mention in a message I've just sent that this variable
is renamed to 'guix-package-search-params' in wip-refactor-emacs-ui
branch.
