pip search not working on pypi repository - artifactory

Question

I have setup a PyPi repo in Artifactory, but I cannot search uploaded packages with pip.
I created a PyPi repo in Artifactory and pushed two versions of an example package, which worked perfectly. The package and it's two versions is present in Artifactory under the correct repo. Running pip search and trying to find this package results in a timeout.
Uploading the packages dind't present any issues at all.
I have tried without /simple as well.
pip search example -i http://artifactory_server/api/pypi/pypi-repo/simple
produces the following:
Exception:

raise ReadTimeout(e, request=request)
ReadTimeout: HTTPConnectionPool(host='artifactory_server', port=80): Read timed out. (read timeout=15)
Any ideas are most welcome.
Thanks.

Since you are not using https, you need to add the following option at the end of your command
--trusted-host artifactory_server
