Thank you Stijn Peeters, you are spot on! After I performed the migration on our Default feed this morning all packages are showing up as expected when searched for - wahoo! Thanks again!

Hello Tobias, PG-1270 will make local packages appear before remote packages in the list, as well as making connector packages appear in the same order that they would appear in the connector.

See: http://inedo.com/support/questions/5371

It's not that "tags appear to become meaningless once a newer version of a package is present", it's just that tags are part of an individual package's metadata (see the NuSpec Reference) just like name, description, authors, etc. The VS Client, nuget.org, and every other package manager UI we've worked with will only do metadata search on the most current version of a package by default; otherwise, outdated and irrelevant packages would come up in results. As you can see, it's possible to use an API to search for these things... but tags are simply not intended to solve the problem I think you're trying to solve.

Your best bet would be to run a fiddler or similar trace to see what calls monodevelop is making vs visual studio. There is really no documented standard API, so it's very possible that monodevelop is using something that happens to work with nuget.org,

Hi Tod Sorry for that, these are the correct images: ProGet browser https://www.dropbox.com/s/lp00uc995s3h5rl/2014-07-10 15_28_09-GamePlay 2.0.23.png Nuget Package Explorer https://www.dropbox.com/s/ev7bteduhh7hkb3/2014-07-10 17_44_31-NuGet Package Explorer_GamePlay.2.0.23.png The request from Nuget Explorer fails and I assume the same thing happens with the Nuget Package Manager in Visual Studio: Request: GET http://srvsedevtfs01:81/nuget/default/FindPackagesById()?$orderby=Published%20desc&$select=Id,Version,Authors,DownloadCount,VersionDownloadCount,PackageHash,PackageSize,Published&id='XXXXXX.XXXXXX.XXXXXX.GamePlay' HTTP/1.1 DataServiceVersion: 2.0;NetFx MaxDataServiceVersion: 2.0;NetFx User-Agent: NuGet Package Explorer/3.8.0.0 (Microsoft Windows NT 6.1.7601 Service Pack 1) Accept: application/atom+xml,application/xml Accept-Charset: UTF-8 Host: srvsedevtfs01:81 Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate Response: HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found Cache-Control: private Content-Length: 6505 Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8 Server: Microsoft-HTTPAPI/2.0 X-AspNet-Version: 4.0.30319 X-UA-Compatible: IE=edge Date: Fri, 11 Jul 2014 14:30:39 GMT <h1> Request handler not found (404) </h1> <div class="subH1"> An unexpected error has occured while processing your request. </div> <h2>Error Details:</h2> <div style="overflow: auto; height: 100px; border: 1px dotted #A00; padding: 10px; color: #A00;"> /nuget/default/FindPackagesById()?$orderby=Published%20desc&amp;$select=Id,Version,Authors,DownloadCount,VersionDownloadCount,PackageHash,PackageSize,Published&amp;id=&#39;XXXXXX.XXXXXX.XXXXXX.GamePlay&#39; does not map to any handlers.

Hi Steve, Thanks for the reply, I think this is best illustrated with a screenshot or two, which I shall send to your email address as mentioned in the other answer. Thanks, Adam.

Great - working well! Thanks

Thank you! I will try it now.
