Description

It's apparently because crates.io seek pagination doesn't allow it (without sacrifing performance) so it's up to us to fix it.

We can still use the old pagination system by providing the page number. I don't really see another way to fix it sadly...

Research direction

Start by tracing how search results pagination is built and how the crates.io seek-pagination response is consumed. Check the linked crates.io issue and compare the current behavior with the old page-number pagination; done means search results show a working “previous page” button without sacrificing the intended pagination behavior.
