 Searching
 
-  :STUB: This is a documentation stub.
+ The Search functionality of Archiva allows a user to search for specific artifact references in the repository.
+
+* What Can Be Searched?
+
+  The repository files that are indexed during repository scan can be configured in the Repository Scanning page, in the
+  Repository Scanning - File Types section (indexable-content). By default, the indexable-content file types are:
+
++-----+
+**/*.txt
+**/*.TXT
+**/*.block
+**/*.config
+**/*.pom
+**/*.xml
+**/*.xsd
+**/*.dtd
+**/*.tld
++-----+
+
+  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 list of artifacts. For example you typed in 'classworlds', the search result would contain
+  the list of artifacts that use or reference 'classworlds'.
+
+  Below is a sample screenshot of the search results:
+
+[../images/search-results.jpg] Search Results 
+
+  When the user clicks a specific artifact in the search results list, Archiva will direct the user in the Artifact Info
+  page (the same page from the Repository Browse). Otherwise if it is not a pom file (ex. metadata.xml), the file will
+  appear as a file to be downloaded from the browser.
+
+* Security
 
+  The Search functionality respects the repository permissions. If the user is not logged in to Archiva and does a search,
+  only those repositories with guest permissions will be searched for the query string. And if the user is logged in to
+  Archiva and does a search, only those repositories in which that user has permission to access will be searched for the
+  query string.
