Please tell me I have missed this, or is there really no way to navigate by extension TYPE?

I was looking for a particlar bot, and found no way to search/navigate only bots? Can it be true?

:'(  :(  :o  ???

Hi eyezberg,

We will look into that. Should be possible to fix by using Advanced Search features of the mtree component.

Thanks otsen, (didn't mean to make this sound as dramatic as it seems btw..) :)

Whilst I can see where your coming from I think it might produce useless results.

My reasoning is that a single extension my include a component, module and plugin (bot)... and many do. That being the case, selecting "bots" for example; would also bring up pretty much every extension that includes a searchbot even though the extension is primarily a component.

This would mean that to make the result worth while it would need to be a way of telling the system a. what the extension is primarily and then b. What other extensions are included.

Cheers

I meant only "stand-alone" bots which do not rely on a component to work (such as glossarbot or akocomment for example); anyway I have started a listing today..
