Searching packages with symbol like @ and / will return empty



  • Hello, I believe this is a bug, not sure whether this is reported previously, however when searching packages which is not alphanumeric only it always return empty.

    For example, searching for "@schematics/angular", "@schematics", or "/angular" will return empty. While "schematics" or "angular" will return a bunch of packages, including the "@schematics/angular" for "angular", but not when searching "schematics".

    I already changed status to cached

    Hi @aristo_4359 ,

    I assume you are referring to npm packages? And that you are using the /packages page and not the Feed page?

    This behavior seems a bit quirky, but expected. The /packages page does not have any special logic for handling package-specific types - and the "search" is more like a "filter". In npm, the @ symbol denotes a group (namespace), and the / symbol is the separator between a group and name - and this is why you get this behavior.

    Hope that explains the behavior a bit! It's not ideal, but a limitation for performance, etc.

    Cheers,
    Alana
