Hi everyone,
One annoying thing I found about the drupal website at the beginning is when I would type in a module name in the search box, i.e. "fckeditor" and the main module page would never come up. Everything would be issues or forum topics. I couldn't figure it out till I learned to just go to /project/xxx
It would be great if at least when you type in a direct match to the search engine on a module name perhaps a highlighted listing comes up that leads you to it's main page. I know you can filter the search by type, but that wasn't clear to me at first and since "project" didn't mean "module" to me, it didn't help anyway.
Best,
Becky

Not obvious
It's there, just not as obvious to the general public.
From the main page, click modules or go to:
http://drupal.org/project/Modules
Then you want to use the Search modules block on the right. You can also filter by compatibility.
Or you can do what I do and go to this awesome site:
http://drupalmodules.com/module-finder
Not obvious indeed. Thanks
Not obvious indeed. Thanks for the pointers to the module list(s).
I agree that search could and should present the obvious result (module=SEARCH TERM) at the top of the search results. This is akin to the Times Topics result listed at the top of the NYT search results page
We can always improve ;)
Have you tried recently?
