Description
Some projects release their code in a lot of related crates - Tokio/Futures being the motivating example. It would nice to be able to group them all together and search them as a single entity.
I'm not sure where the info to define a group of crates would come from. Manual setting it one option, or the result of a crate search. Ideally it would be in the crates.io/crate metadata.

Research direction
Start by tracing the existing crate search flow and how docs.rs uses crates.io/crate metadata. Determine how groups of related crates would be defined, then verify that a group can be searched as one entity and that the chosen metadata source supports the result.
