 Just an idea, adding in `_search_module()` (under
 https://trac.osgeo.org/grass/browser/grass/trunk/scripts/g.search.modules/g.search.modules.py#L203):

 {{{
 if keywords == ['*']:
     all_modules = []

     for item in items:
         name = item.attrib['name']
         description = item.find('description').text
         module_keywords = item.find('keywords').text

         all_modules.append({
             'name': name,
             'attributes': {
                 'keywords': module_keywords,
                 'description': description
             }
         })

      return all_modules
 }}}

 works as a proof of concept. Or, add another flag, like `-l` that will
 will do this?

 This would make it easy to get the full list of existing modules for
 further processing with standard *nix tools.
