I deploy a nexus repo sys in my local area network, and I config a PyPI repo on it. I can use pip install to install package with my private mirror. But I cannot use pip search.
Here is my pip.ini
[global]
index-url = http://nexus.repo.com/repository/PyPI/simple
index = http://nexus.repo.com/repository/PyPI/pypi
trusted-host = nexus.repo.com
And when I use pip search it returns:
C:\Users\user>pip search redis
HTTP error 404 while getting http://nexus.repo.com/repository/PyPI/pypi
Exception:

I'm googling and googling, but coming up empty so far. So here I am, hoping someone else can guide me through this. thank you very much.
Try this: pip search redis -i http://nexus.repo.com/repository/PyPI/pypi -vvv --trusted-host nexus.repo.com
I had the same problem, and found that I was basically searching with the /simple url, rather than the /pypi one (the /simple one works only for pip install)
