如何通过描述文本搜索柯南包？

Question

I've not used Conan before. I've now installed it, and I basically know how to install a package with it, but - I need to find packages.

I've gone here: https://bintray.com/conan/conan-center

and there's a search interface, but it seems to ignore package descriptions and only try to match package names. This is really problematic, for obvious reasons.

My question: Other than scrolling through packages, what can I do to search for packages by matching description text?

Answer 1

There is a new interface, including a new search service, in https://conan.io/center/ . The search might be a bit better, but not yet indexing the full description fields.

The packages are now generated from pull requests submitted to the conan-center-index repo , and issues specific to the Web UI, including the search functionality can use the " conan.io/center " label. Some of the current suggestions include navigating by topics. Indexing the descriptions will be done, hopefully soon.

In the meantime, cloning and grepping the conan-center-index repo is a very convenient/pragmatic way to find things including descriptions
