Anaconda’s Unified Search enables you to find resources across Anaconda’s platform from a single location. Search results are context-based, meaning they include resources you have access to, such as packages from available channels and projects that you’ve created or that have been shared with you on Anaconda’s cloud platform. Unified Search also suggests matching terms as you type, helping you discover content more quickly. Unified Search appears in the top navigation bar after you sign in to anaconda.com/app.

You can search for:
  • Packages from anaconda.com and anaconda.org channels. Packages from trusted Anaconda sources appear first and are sorted by download count.
  • Relevant pages from Anaconda’s official documentation.
  • Help topics from Anaconda’s community forum.
  • accessible through your Anaconda account.
