my concern here is that we don't have any redirect and there might be existing links today pointing out to this page. If you want to split the pages, you might keep the subtitle as is (Package provenance) and add a note the subsection moved to a new page.

You can use the npm search bar to find packages to use in your projects. The search is performed using content from the package's title, description, readme, and keywords and is powered by [opensearch](https://opensearch.org/). Search results are displayed based on keyword matching from the package's title, description, readme, and keywords. No subjective ranking criteria are applied, except for a minimal boost to deprioritize spammy or entirely new packages, aiming to maintain a neutral stance towards all other packages.

Please note that newly published packages may take up to one-two week to appear in the search results. Additionally, deprecated packages are excluded from the search results to enhance the user experience.
