I guess the modern equivalent of that would be https://repology.org/

Although the focus is on the version aspect, so descriptions are a bit hidden and I'm not sure they're searchable.

There seems to be a bug; the “Description” field seems to have joined lines together without spaces, leading to such things as “It is conformantto” in the description of Bigloo.

    Since this isn't the original source of this data, it's possible that this happened to the description contents at some point in the past. In which case it wouldn't be trivial to fix.

      The bug is not in the source data:

        Begin4
        Title:          "Bigloo, a Scheme to C compiler"
        Version:        1.3
        Entered-date:   1996-01-01
        Description:    Bigloo is both a interpreter and a compiler. It is conformant
                        to IEEE Scheme standard with some extensions from which we can
                        site regular parsing or pattern matching.

      Correct. I've done no manipulation of the data that has been read in.

        The bug is not present in the original LSM data (as I showed in another comment), but is present in the JSON data¹:

          {"author":"Manuel.Serrano@inria.fr (Manuel Serrano)","primary-site":"ftp.inria.fr /INRIA/Projects/icsla4048000 bigloo1.3b.tar.Z\n","maintained-by":"Manuel.Serrano@inria.fr","entered-date":"1996-01-01","version":"1.3","keywords":"","original-site":"","description":"Bigloo is both a interpreter and a compiler. It is conformantto IEEE Scheme standard with some extensions from which we can\nsite regular parsing or pattern matching.\n","copying-policy":"Copyleft","platforms":"","alternate-site":"","title":"\"Bigloo, a Scheme to C compiler\""}
        
        You can see that the same bug is also affecting other multi-line fields, like “Primary-site” here, and “Alternate-site” for other projects.
