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]

Yup, there is no documentation But, FWIW, there really isn't anything worth documenting anyway You really don't need to use author: to find an author by name As for dist:, you're provided with a search form on the distributions page -- if you make the connection, you make it :)	[reply]
