Add an option for auto-completing package names #8982

Some of the time, while discussing packages with other devs or if I almost remember the name of one, I've had to open the website and search for whatever I remembered to be sure my spelling was correct (non-native english speaker and most packages are named in English).

I'd like to request that we add auto-completion for package names on search. Obviously a bit different than simply writing something and it clipping to the first package it can find with that name.

My idea is to add an optional pkg: prefix to search which would trigger this completion. In that context, seeing all packages with a name that matches. Once we hit return on that list, opening that specific package page.

I usually do something similar but with my browser history but once I swap between devices or have my history cleaned, I have no easy way to do this.
