Description

@joelbernstein

s.c.o allows querying by "type" (module, distribution, author) which restricts results to only come from the specified type of resource.
I find this a very useful feature and have a number of browser quicksearches which rely on it.
I can't figure out how to achieve the same thing using metacpan.

Examples:

  1. search for distributions matching DBIx::Class, without listing modules therein
  2. search for modules matching DBIx::Class, ignoring which dist they are in
  3. search for ACME as an author, ignoring any Acme:: modules
  4. search for Acme modules, ignoring an author whose name contains 'acme'
