+
+@example
+guix locate ls
+@end example

+Currently the command relies on purely local information.  It is thus unable
+to find packages that have not been directly or indirectly reached your store.
+This limitation will be lifted in a future revision.
+Run @command{info \"Invoking guix locate\"} for more info.")))
