* Quick Search
The contents of all the files in the repository that matches the above configuration will be indexed during repository
- scan. So when you type a word in the search box, Archiva will search the index for that query string and return all the
- search hits in the form of a paginated list of artifacts. For example you typed in 'ant', the search result
- would contain the list of artifacts that use or reference 'ant'.

+ For query strings that are separated by whitespaces, Archiva searches for the exact query string.
+ So if you typed in 'commons logging', the search result would contain the list of artifacts that use or
+ reference 'commons logging' and not artifacts that only contain both 'commons' and 'logging'
+ such as 'commons-logging'.
Archiva can also search the index for java classes, packages, and methods and return a list of artifacts containing the
query string. In the previous versions, we need to append the keyword 'bytecode:' before the query string in the search box
