If I want to find all packages on the Julia repository that contain the string “csv” (either in the title or the short description). I read the Pkg information again, but could not find a native Julia way. Fortunately, there is an easy alternative. For the most part, I have been relying on google…

For registered packages, you can try searching GitHub - JuliaLang/METADATA.jl: Metadata for registered Julia packages up to Julia v0.6. No longer maintained. Please see https://github.com/JuliaRegistries/General instead. directly.

[image] Sukera: For registered packages, you can try searching github.com/julialang/METADATA.jl directly. From the link: Sorry, we had to truncate this directory to 1,000 files. 1,280 entries were omitted from the list. and it does not have the short description.

In the upper left there should be a search field - that one can search just that repository. Yeah, I think the short description is just the one set in each github repo separately - having a better way to search those would indeed be awesome.

well, maybe “my” method looking through n https://pkg.julialang.org works best. just hoping that it covers all packages…

I believe Pkg.julialang.org is no longer updated (?) Try juliaobserver.com .

I have a few scripts in R I used to do similar things… The approach I recommend is to Parse the registry to find the package and repository (most are in Github) You get the name of the package here Use the Github API to get the description and optionally parse the README If given a few months…
