Lib.rs has previously been editorializing the crates within the search algorithm on their site based on their own personal preference. However, they recently have taken it a step too far in labeling the bitcoin repo as unmaintained despite active development taking place for the past several years. Several others have also taken similar actions.
I use its search, because it produces much better search results. The crates.io search is almost unusable, it rarely finds anything useful in the top search results.
Interesting, I haven’t had that same experience, although I confess I haven’t used lib.rs much in the last year or so (basically since all of the original drama with crypto stuff). But I’ve never had many problems with crates.io’s search results.
Do you have any examples of lib.rs search finding useful crates that crates.io does not find?
