When the user searches for, e.g., short-url, in the default view (sorted by relevance), we could display the last-released date on each item, just as we do when sorting by last updated.

Requested by @koobs in IRC (#pypa-dev) today:

Makes it easier to filter 'relevance results' by last updated for large result sets
when you search on PyPI, it defaults to a 'Relevance' search. the results in this Relevance (order by) mode dont display 'Last updated' attribute of the package in the results
When you switch to 'Last updated' order by, 'Last updated' values are shown
What I'm proposing is exposing/displaying the 'Last updated' values in the 'Relevance' order by case as well
Allowing users to use the 'relevance' matching which highlights (as expected) 'more' relevant results, but also allows them to see last updated, instead of going to the package page, to see last updated
my example case: https://pypi.org/search/?q=short+url
when you switch that search to last updated, most of the results aren't relevant for the search terms any more
im looking for 'relevent' results 'updated recently'
without 'Last updated' being displayed in relevence mode, i cant do that

@brainwane I'm not sure -- do you have any suggestions?

I was working on the spec for #8158, but we might be at a blocker there because we don't want to commit such a large file to the git repo and slow everything down.
