The official tutorial instructs users to find third-party packages by using the "pip search" command, which no longer works (and will be deprecated -- and presumably subsequently removed -- according to the error message). See https://docs.python.org/3.10/tutorial/venv.html#managing-packages-with-pip

That passage should be removed from the tutorial.

You are misreading the error message. 

> RuntimeError: PyPI's XMLRPC API is currently disabled due to unmanageable load and will be deprecated in the near future. See https://status.python.org/ for more information.

This error message says "PyPI's XMLRPC API" is disabled and will be deprecated. It doesn't say `pip search` command is disabled and will be deprecated.

Removing or reimplement `pip search` is discussed in this issue:
https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/5216

Anyway, I am +1 to remove it from the tutorial.

Thanks for the clarification. I submitted a PR, but I'm unable to remove the "CLA not signed" tag from it (even though I have signed the CLA) and form at https://check-python-cla.herokuapp.com/ ("You can check yourself to see if the CLA has been received.") blows up with a 500 ("Server got itself in trouble"). Submitting patches for the Python documentation never used to be this hard. :-)

I have reported the failure of the CLA check tool.
