Improved search syntax on nuget.org and in NuGet Visual Studio extension

Luan Nguyen

For example, if you want to search for packages which contain 'elmah' within the Id, you type 'id:elmah'. (Note that this will execute a 'contains' search, not an exact match se...

Managing Package Owners on nuget.org

Jeff Handley

While each NuGet package's nuspec metadata defines the package's owner(s), the NuGet gallery at nuget.org ignores that piece of nuspec metadata. Instead, ownership of a package is defined by who publishes the package to the gallery. Sometimes this metadata needs to be managed beyond the initial package publishing too, which means the owner metadata...

Invoking NuGet Services from inside Visual Studio

Luan Nguyen

One of the best kept secrets of the NuGet extension is that besides the UI that everyone has become familiar with, it also exports some useful services, via MEF, which allow other components in VS to interact with NuGet. These include installing packages, uninstalling packages and querying for installed packages. Over the past year, the NuGet team...
