[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Hi Guix Maintainers,


This patch proposes a SQLite cache solution for #39258 to accelerate guix
search.

Key improvements:
1. 100x faster search responses
2. Auto-updating cache
3. Backward compatible

I'm applying for GSoC 2025 to implement this.

Regards,
Shreyansh Singh
