How do I search for packages with yarn? I want to get a list of results that have the search term in the name of the package as well as in descriptions (similar to how various utilities work like npm search, apropos, apt-cache search).

I tried yarn info <pkg>, but this gave a bunch of json data that was limited to just that package.

Using yarn help and duckduckgo was educational, but still didn't answer how to do this.
