Home manager has several services and config options available at https://github.com/nix-community/home-manager/tree/master/modules which are similar to nixos configuration options.

Searching through these manually or using github search is rather tedious.
Using search.nixos.org to search through these feels like a natural extension of it's feature set.

What needs to be done to get this working now?

Decide how to expose the options in home-manager (see nix-community/home-manager#2297 (comment)), and then reflect that in the nixos-search backend, probably also with a frontend change to separate HM options from NixOS options.

We currently do not track flake options (iirc) but should be able to.
However merging them with the nixos optionswould be more of a ui challenge and homeManager (as well as nix-Darwin for that matter) is special as it introduces its own framework separate from a configuraton.nix (although able to integrate)

Did some work towards this in nix-community/home-manager#2971 (not solving the main problem).
