.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
This module implements a CPAN::Common::Index that searches for packages against
the MetaCPAN \s-1API.\s0
.PP
This backend supports searching modules with a version range (as
specified in CPAN::Meta::Spec) which is translated into MetaCPAN
search query.
.PP
There is also a support for \fIdev\fR release search, by passing
\&\f(CW\*(C`include_dev\*(C'\fR parameter to the index object.
.PP
The result may include an optional field \f(CW\*(C`download_uri\*(C'\fR which
suggests a specific mirror \s-1URL\s0 to download from, which can be
\&\f(CW\*(C`backpan.org\*(C'\fR if the archive was deleted, or \f(CW\*(C`cpan.metacpan.org\*(C'\fR if
the release date is within 1 day (because some mirrors might not have
synced it yet).
.PP
There is no support for searching packages with a regular expression, nor searching authors.
