Not a big contribution to science.  
But in case it is useful to someone, here is a little **bash** script.  
It simply does a `haxelib info` for each result of `haxelib search WORD`, and drops the list of releases.

For example:

```haxe
localuser@localhost> haxelibrarian bootstrap

Desc: Bootstrap for Priori

```

Here’s the script if you’re interested:

```bash
#!/bin/bash
# Simply shows haxelib package description for each match of WORD

if [[$# -lt 1 || $1 = -h || $1 = --help]]; then
    echo "haxelibrarian makes an 'haxelib info' for each 'haxelib search WORD' result"
    echo "Missing search WORD"
    exit 1
fi

first=1
for lib in $( haxelib search "$1" | head -n -1 ); do
    [[-z $first]] && echo "----------------------------------------------------"
    haxelib info "$lib" | sed '/^Releases:/,$d'
    unset first
done

```
