So to clarify a bit: 1. In simple search I'm using npm public api for searching, namely: " http://registry.npmjs.org/-/v1/search?text={search_query}&size={size}&from={from}";.
In the case of searching 'mathjs' the request path is following: http://registry.npmjs.org/-/v1/search?text=mathjs&size=20&from=0 (click on this link and you may check the response) 2. 'mathjs' and 'MathJS' are different packages. See: https://registry.npmjs.org/mathjs https://registry.npmjs.org/MathJS Why is the description of MathJS empty? The text displayed below the name of extension in simple search result list is simply the field "description" from the package json returned by search api endpoint (above). Obviously among all packages deployed on NPM Registry there are those mature and well maintained like 'mathjs' that have proper description and a lot of immature and poorly-maintained experimental libraries with often strange names and description set to nothing like MathJS. So far the extensions imported in XWiki were taken only from extensions.xwiki.org where XWiki community makes sure that the description of every extension is set properly. In other public repositories there's no such supervision. That's why it may look strange for XWiki user to see empty description field. 3. As regards npmtest-mathjs and npmdoc-mathjs - you're right they seem to be tests and documentation for 'mathjs' package so they rather shouldn't appear in simple search results. I haven't noticed them before. I'll try to work out how to filter them out. Ecaterina, Thomas - thanks for feedback!
