Not the first time this has happened. Notable crate author burntsushi (you know, the one who wrote the regex crate) requested for all of their crates to be removed months ago.
Frankly, I think it's deserved. It really bugs me when people start suggesting lib.rs as an alternative, because it's really not that much better than crates.io and it has the downside of the results being biased.
I use its search, because it produces much better search results. The crates.io search is almost unusable, it rarely finds anything useful in the top search results.
Interesting, I haven't had that same experience, although I confess I haven't used lib.rs much in the last year or so (basically since all of the original drama with crypto stuff). But I've never had many problems with crates.io's search results.
Do you have any examples of lib.rs search finding useful crates that crates.io does not find?
