Problems/potential improvements:
- Latest version is on the top => likely out of terminal view.
- Hard to see what are the available versions vs. the available build strings.
- Build strings seem to be not ordered lexically.
- Build strings are not easily parsed by the human eye, eg.
py38could be "for Python 3.8".
Idea:
Name Version Build Channel
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────
boost 1.74.0 py310hd0bb7a8_5 conda-forge/osx-arm64
py310hd0bb7a8_4
...
boost 1.80.0 py38hd516fed_1 conda-forge/osx-arm64
py39h70e7ac2_1
py39h4aae847_0
Or even:
Name Version Python Build Channel
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────
boost 1.74.0 3.10 py310hd0bb7a8_5 conda-forge/osx-arm64
3.10 py310hd0bb7a8_4
...
boost 1.80.0 3.8 py38hd516fed_1 conda-forge/osx-arm64
3.9 py39h70e7ac2_1
3.9 py39h4aae847_0
For wildcard searches:
$ micromamba search '*boost*'

- Most likely package ("boost") not listed top/bottom.
- No color highlighting.
