Re^4: metacpan link shortcut? (both)

Yes, search is also much improved over search.cpan.org, but it's the browsing experience improvements (and rapid development of new features) that have won me over. metacpan is a much nicer module and code browsing experience.

metacpan has sponsors for hosting, bandwidth, and DNS. So it is, at the least, not running on someone's personal machine. The project has had 57 individual contributors. I hope this bodes well for it staying around to the level of "permanence."

Where is documented the query syntax? I don't find any documentation at all. (The FAQ is all meta stuff.) TIA.	[reply]

A little testing reveals search within a distribution https://metacpan.org/search?q=dist:MetaCPAN-API&q=search A little source diving (MetaCPAN::Web::Controller::Search) reveals search for an author (author results on top of the other search results) https://metacpan.org/search?q=author:mark What, I just found out I like about metacpan, is the dependencies are listed for each module/distribution right on the page, and the reverse dependencies are a click away -- where as on search.cpan.org, its always an extra click (a slow one)	[reply]

I'm taking that as a confirmation that there is no documentation. Source diving is not an acceptable substitute.	[reply]
