Maven components are typically referred to by a coordinate string that can easily identify the component that you are looking for:

```auto
{groupId}:{artifactId}:{version}:{extension}:{classifier}

```

In this release of NXRM you can now plug all (or a subset) of these coordinates into the keyword search and get the result(s) you are looking for, a simple G:A:V search done here:

And if you wanted to search a little broader, and see all the versions of the artifact, just trim off the version parameter leaving the G:A as below:

If you happen to be looking for a certain classifier of a component, you can further filter the results by including the extension and classifier G:A:V:E:C as below:

We sure hope these changes will help ease your Maven searching, enjoy!
