The basics

You can search the Cloudsmith map for Components or Distros by name.

Distros can be directly consumed through materialization.

Components are the building blocks of distros.

Search syntax

Cloudsmith search allows you to use a comprehensive Query By Example (QBE) syntax using the following special characters:

*	any character
?	one character
>	greater, lexically after
<	less, lexically before
>=	greater or equal, lexically after or equal
<=	less or equal, lexically before or equal
!=	not equal
~	when placed first, makes the search case sensitive

Note: if you enter any QBE characters you have to fully qualify your query. See 'Default QBE' for more information.


The default when no QBE characters have been entered is to apply the QBE pattern "TEXT", where TEXT is the text that was entered.	This means that the default is a case insensitive search for the entered text positioned anywhere in the searched content.
