Package search now prioritizes results in this order:
1. Exact pname match
2. Exact attr_path match
3. pname starts with query
4. attr_path starts with query
5. FTS ranking (bm25 for SQLite, ts_rank for PostgreSQL)
This ensures searching for "git" returns the "git" package first,
rather than packages that merely mention "git" in their description.
Also update CLAUDE.md to clarify using `nix run` instead of
`go build -o` for testing binaries.

Add NixOS module for deploying nixpkgs-search as systemd services:
- Runs separate MCP servers for options (port 8082) and packages (port 8083)
- Shared database configuration (SQLite or PostgreSQL)
- Separate indexing service that runs before servers start
- options.enable and packages.enable flags (both default to true)
- indexFlags option for customizing index command (--no-packages, etc.)
Also update flake.nix:
- Register new module as nixpkgs-search-mcp
- Set as default nixosModule

Add a new nixpkgs-search CLI that combines NixOS options search with
Nix package search functionality. This provides two MCP servers from
a single binary:
- `nixpkgs-search options serve` for NixOS options
- `nixpkgs-search packages serve` for Nix packages
Key changes:
- Add packages table to database schema (version 3)
- Add Package type and search methods to database layer
- Create internal/packages/ with indexer and parser for nix-env JSON
- Add MCP server mode (options/packages) with separate tool sets
- Add package handlers: search_packages, get_package
- Create cmd/nixpkgs-search with combined indexing support
- Update flake.nix with nixpkgs-search package (now default)
- Bump version to 0.2.0
The index command can index both options and packages together, or
use --no-packages/--no-options flags for partial indexing.
