Smart Package Search
Smart Package Search finds packages by searching their names, descriptions, and README content. This makes useful packages discoverable even when you do not know their exact name or repository.
Smart Package Search is built into RepoFlow Cloud. It is optional for self-hosted deployments and can be enabled with Elasticsearch or OpenSearch. See Search Engine Configuration for the required settings.
Search syntax
Enter normal words to search across package names, descriptions, and READMEs. Add special tokens with either : or = when you need an exact filter. RepoFlow turns recognized tokens into removable filters in the search box.
Examples
