👩‍🎓 TIL More About pkg.go.dev Tooling

I use pkg.go.dev regularly. Sometimes just for finding a package, that I know, but not the full name. One of those is spew. I know the package, I know it exists, but I will never be able to keep the full path in my head (for good reasons). Wouldn’t it be great to search from the command line?
