https://search.nixos.org/packages exists and it's generally pretty damn good

It's actually not. If you search for go you get the go package, but if you search for go 1.21, no go package will even appear on the first page. The package you are looking for is somewhere on page 7 or 8.

Indeed, that looks like a bug. The version field is there but it doesn't appear to be searched.

Could you open an issue on https://github.com/NixOS/nixos-search?
