A search for grinder shows lots of results
but the grinder package is not one of them.
As far as I remember packages that are not Dart2 compatible are not shown in search results, but I haven't found anything like that wrong with the grinder package.
I think packages exactly matching the search term should always be shown anyway.
When someone searches for an unused package name, finds nothing and therefore uses it for his project only to find when he tries to publish later that it's already taken by an old package)
@zoechi: Do you recall when this happened? I'm searching for grinder now and I get it as a top result.
Oh, maybe this another case of keeping the search preferences: do you have the Flutter filter on? As grinder is not a flutter-compatible package, it is not listed under Flutter.
Sorry this is my fault, this is a dup of #3356
