Description

https://github.com/NuGet/NuGetGallery/issues/7594

SDK team has the nuget gallery ask. And Peter Yu and @joelverhagen suggested it is better have a client side counterpart instead of directly query the web API. So all client side .NET code is in nuget client.

However, in the meanwhile SDK will continue directly using the web REST API since it is relatively simple, and we will migrate to use the client once it is available.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Look into the NuGet client codebase to add a PackageType query parameter to the search API. The issue references NuGetGallery#7594 for server side changes. Consider the client side implementation in the NuGet.Client repo (e.g., in NuGet.Protocol). Provide a new API method that allows filtering by PackageType.
