## A non-comprehensive list of special search expressions:

These search-terms can be combined with each other and regular search term.

* <em>module:</em> filter by part of a module name ( e.g. [module:Plugin](/search?q=module:Plugin) )
* <em>distribution:</em> search in the files of the specific distribution ( e.g. [distribution:Dancer auth](/search?q=distribution%3ADancer+auth) )
* <em>author:</em> search in the modules releases by the given author ( e.g. [author:SONGMU Redis](/search?q=author%3ASONGMU+Redis) )
* <em>version:</em> limit the search to modules with the given version number ( e.g. [version:1.00](/search?q=version%3A1.00) )

Wildcards: ? matches a single character, * matches any number of characters
( e.g. [version:1.*](/search?q=version%3A1.*) and [version:1.?](/search?q=version%3A1.?) )

## Why can't I find a specific module?
