Problem/Motivation

The module currently forces an exact match on the module title. It would be nice if it could find matches that include the search string instead of forcing the user to know the exact name. After, if you knew the exact name, you could probably guess the composer command to install it. :)

OK, so we need to actually change this to a keyword search. We have a big piece of work @todo that would block this, which is to add Search API Solr to the Drupal 9 backend site powering the API, along with Search API - JSON API integration, so we can query the API including a keyword that does a CONTAINS search.

I agree that keyword search is where we want to get, but if that can't be reached for MVP, at least switching from exact match to includes would be a big improvement, especially if it could check fields besides the title. I know that's a relatively small change in a Drupal view, but not sure what kind of a lift that would be for the API.

The way it works now, you have to know the module name before you can search for it, which means the search doesn't really help much at all.

This was filed very early into Project Browser's existence. Since then, there have been changes that include search working the way requested here (which was a good request!). Closing since we apparently did it already 😎
