Description
Some crates use an informal namespace of maincratename-something to indicate that a crate is meant to work with a set of crates, such as serde-json works with serde.
When you're searching for a crate to use with another crate, it would be useful to know whether a crate is owned by the same team/individuals as the main crate or not.
We currently display owner icons on an individual crate's page in the sidebar on the right:
I'm proposing we add this to the search page, so that the search results for "serde" look like:
This way, you can scan and see that oh, serde-json is owned by the same folks as serde, serde_json_experimental is owned by one of the people that owns serde, and alt_serde_json is owned by a completely separate person.
Teams should be listed first, then users, which I think is what happens on the crate page already.
This will add another join to the already gnarly search query :-/
I'm no designer (as I'm sure you can tell by my mockup), and any design needs to work for desktop widths as well as mobile widths.
