I think the issue is noted by Assuming app is 'pip_search.exe.exe' (Windows only)

Expected behavior

The command should be ran as expected.

[Spitfire1900]

This reproduces at least as far back a 1.2.1

[Spitfire1900]

Added breakpoint to pipx/util.py:

[Spitfire1900]

In the above example a workaround is pipx run --spec=pip-search pip_search

[Spitfire1900]

Have not reproduced this.
