Delete create-search-index.ts

We stopped uploading data/search-index-min.json, I think: https://github.com/microsoft/DefinitelyTyped-tools/pull/51/files#diff-de7516b7f088e6c0b8ec69aee38be709e7d309719cb6f2c504280cd3c257c05dL21

Can we also stop building it?

Oh it looks like this search index is being relied upon by Algolia's npm-search index (which is also being relied upon by the Yarn search on their website):

https://github.com/algolia/npm-search/blob/d99c31fbe733953d39e498f9c7d982b2e09f3458/src/typescript/index.ts#L24-L40

Is there a recommendation for getting this types information from somewhere else? Eg.

1. Is a package written in TypeScript?
2. If not, does the package have a corresponding @types/* package published to Definitely Typed?

Seems like there was also TypeSearch (and the TypeScout interface for it), but it seems like this is either unavailable or not containing all information that is necessary.

Thanks for letting me know, I wasn't aware this wasn't updated anymore (should have had better monitoring 🤔). I guess there's alternative options (maybe GitHub api?)

Another idea: the npmjs.com website displays this correctly:
