Search

Search finds artifacts in one repository.

Search a repository

To search, follow these steps:

1. Open the repository and go to Search.
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, so a coordinate pasted as com.example:widget works as a query.

Search covers what's in the repository, which includes files fetched from upstreams. It doesn't search the upstreams themselves.

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.
