Note that the search value you enter is not case sensitive.
apache and Apache and APACHE are equivalent
values for search purposes.
The search starts with a simple case-insensitive containment search on the Name field
of the application object (Component, License, Owner, Package, Product, "Global"),
ordering the results by exact match first.
If the simple search returns nothing, a second step searches the application object by
field ranking, using fields in the application object that help identify it.
Search results are ordered by
alphabetically within each group.
You can also filter search results by various column headers, selecting one or more values for that purpose, optionally using "type ahead" to quickly find the value you want. DejaCode limits the values you can select for filtering by those that will actually return results. You can use the column filters with or without a value in the search field. You can clear any filter simply by clicking the "x" on the label that identifies an active filter.
You can reorder the search results simply by clicking the up or down arrow next to a column header.
Note that, unlike a Google search, DejaCode will not try to guess what you intended if your spelling of search text is not accurate - e.g. DejaCode will not not return results for a mis-spelled search value.
