Using the change I am proposing, just knowing ’jeija’ returns a match:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
$ ./pre-inst-env guix search jeija
name: minetest-mesecons
version: 1.2.1-63.27c3c51
outputs:
+ out: everything else
systems: x86_64-linux
dependencies: 
location: gnu/packages/minetest.scm:367:4
homepage: https://mesecons.net
license: LGPL 3, CC-BY-SA 3.0
synopsis: Digital circuitry for Minetest, including wires, buttons and lights  
description: Mesecons is a mod for Minetest implementing various items
+ related to digital circuitry, such as wires, buttons, lights and programmable
+ controllers.  Among other things, there are also pistons, solar panels,
+ pressure plates and note blocks.
+ 
+ Mesecons has a similar goal to Redstone in Minecraft, but works in its own
+ way, with different rules and mechanics.
relevance: 4
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

which is better than nothing.

Well, upstream-name is not so much useful as-is but it can help for some
cases.


Cheers,
