Search returns unexpected amount of projects

Open voxik opened this issue 2 months ago • 1 comments

Trying to figure what versions are tracked for Node.js, I have entered "nodejs" into the search box. This returns 23 pages of projects, starting with "abbrev". Not sure what would justify "abbrev" to appear there.

Consulting with documentation, I'd assume to need to use wildcards if I wanted to get some broader results. But how to make the search more precise?

That is because the package name for those project is nodejs-*. It looks for package names as well. Maybe we should update that in documentation.
