Search

The search bar at the top of the screen takes your input and runs a fuzzy-search against our database of metadata for each package and author.

Fuzzy search means that it provides an experience similar to Google. You can type in a few letters and the search will return results that match your input based on a weighted algorithm.

All results in the grid of packages are sorted by last publication date if no search input is provided. The topmost items are therefore also the most recently published packages. Once you start typing, the results are sorted by relevance. The topmost items are therefore the most relevant to your search input. This is true for both packages and authors.
