Created attachment 154862 [details] comparison side by side Trying the maven test spec: phase Maven repository browser Find in repository Test Case finding jfreechart on central is not ordere the same than using the repo search maybe good to have same ordering way. Regards
there is a slight difference in how those two features work: search: - find splits the criteria by " " and creates a join of the results for each word in the given text - search takes the whole search string as it is for the search criteria sort: - find sorts only alphabetically - the search dialog sorts alphabetically, but also gives precedence to artifacts containing the search text directly - e.g. in artifactId find could behave similar to search in the way it sorts, but then in case of a multi word search this could lead to some pretty "mixed up" sorting. On the other hand - doing so only in case when a one word criteria was given would lead to discrepancies between two finds in the way how they sort. also that find and search aren't perfectly analogical in the way they handle the search criteria for now i would prefer to keep things as they are
Thanks for the feedback. It's uncommon to do the two action at the same time. I will wait until end of testing session and make a more "lazy" description in the testcase. http://services.netbeans.org/synergy/client/app/index.html#/case/5463/suite/1926/v/1
