Hi,  
I’m using the search API (#admin/system/api) in order to filter on groupid and artifactid on maven components.  
when i make a search with maven.groupId , maven.artifactId and maven.baseVersion matching a component i know it’s exists, it’s return multiple component : group and version are filtered but no artifact id.  
it’s really look like a bug. anything i can do about that ?

Per [[NEXUS-16730] Direct querying for groupId or artifactId - Sonatype JIRA](https://issues.sonatype.org/browse/NEXUS-16730) looks like this isn’t an implemented feature yet, unless I’m misreading your message.  
Suggest voting there if I read it right.  
Hope that helps,  
Joe
