1 The problem
=============

  Most of the times, I use shell-mode in Emacs and execute "guix"
  commands. When I execute "guix search", the following warning is shown

  ,----
  | guix search emacs
  `----

  ,----
  | WARNING: terminal is not functional
  | Press RETURN to continue
  `----

  I think the reason why this happens is that the command tries to use a
  pager which is not possible in shell-mode.

  I need to press C-c C-c to exit the command which is time-consuming
  and doesn't allow me to normally search a buffer as I would normally
  do it in Emacs.

  I'd rather guix did not use a pager and instead show all the results
  in raw text since that way I can scroll up and search within Emacs.


2 The question
==============

  How could I disable the pager in "guix search" and make it display the
  output in raw text?
