Search

Search finds artifacts in one repository. Each repository has its own search, so results never mix repositories that you're allowed to see with ones that you aren't.

Search a repository

To search, follow these steps:

1. Open the repository.
2. In the Search field, enter what you're looking for.

Results are artifacts, ordered by how well they match, with the group ID, the artifact ID, the latest version, and the name and description from the POM. At most 50 artifacts are returned.

What's searched

Search covers an artifact's group ID and artifact ID, and the name and description from its POM. It doesn't cover file names, POM dependencies, or the contents of archives.

Every term is matched as a prefix, so widg finds widget. Every term has to match, so adding a term narrows the results.

You can separate terms with spaces or with a colon, which means that a coordinate pasted as com.example:widget works as a query.

Searching covers what's in the repository, which includes files cached from upstreams. It doesn't reach into an upstream to search there.

If you get nothing back

• Try a shorter term. Matching is by prefix, not by substring, so idget doesn't find widget.
• Remove a term. All terms have to match.
• Check that the artifact is in this repository, in the tree.
