Sorry I do not know how to remove this post, it is a known issue in “Conda.jl”  
[/Conda.jl/issues/118](https://github.com/JuliaPy/Conda.jl/issues/118)

I am struggling with the Conda method “search”, is it a bug or do I missunderstand something, why is following throwing an error in Julia v1.6.4, Miniconda v3, Conda v1.5.2:

```julia
using Conda
Conda.search("package_name")

```

The only thing I found regarding this is:
