(This may be a Sonatype question, but it does concern Maven central and the Maven community so I thought I'd ask here.)
Currently, you can search Maven central efficiently using search.maven.org. You can search on coordinates and also by class (i.e. "what artifact contains a class whose name contains the string 'Frobnicator'?"). How would one go about lobbying for additional Solr/Lucene indices on other things, like, say, META-INF/MANIFEST.MF header contents, or the presence of a certain resource (com/foo/bar/Frobnicator.properties etc.), or full-text search on non-binary resources? Stuff like that? Or is there some service I'm unaware of out there that provides this information that I could then use to resolve the resulting artifact pointers? Best, Laird
