Hello,

Im sure you've all noticed that the search on the extensions page is pretty much useless. I can type the exact name of an extension and be lucky if it's in the last page of results. It's been like that for ages, will it ever be fixed?

Thanks

Hi ferrazf,

There is a work in progress to improve search feature at Joomla! Extensions Directory.
See this thread for a simple tip on searching: http://forum.joomla.org/index.php/topic ... #msg877859

But it is well organized in categories, which is fairly easy to find what you are looking for minus the search box.

While we are talking about the search, let me make one quick suggestion. It would be great if the license selection was a multi-select (control+click) list instead of the current radio button setup. Sometimes it is helpful to search multiple licenses at the same time, but not ALL licenses. Thanks for listening!
