Description

How would this feature be useful? searching through the web browser is really annoying so I think a search command.

Describe the solution you'd like https://pypi.org/project/pip-search/ is a great way to search via terminal and doesnt have the api issue since it uses the website directly, so i would include it in pipx natively as pipx search

Research direction
Implement a new `pipx search` command that uses the pip search library. Add the command to the CLI parser in `src/pipx/main.py`. Consider whether to make pip search a required dependency or optional. Review the pip search documentation for its API and usage. The issue comments discuss integration details and potential challenges.
