Searching on Tool Shed gives multiple revisions
Hi all, Using the left hand menu items "Search for valid tools" and "Search for workflows" gives multiple revisions - whereas searching via the prominent search box on the welcome page does not (only the latest revisions are shown). I would prefer only to get the latest revision - otherwise the search results are a bit confusing and the old revisions are noise drowning out the main information. Regards, Peter
Peter, Judging by the code, the "search for valid tools" page is intended to search with greater granularity for valid tool versions, and displays every tool found with a unique version, whereas the prominent search page is intended as a general search for repository names matching the given query. --Dave B.

I was particularly interested in the "Search for workflows" option - which can be used with a blank search term to get all repositories with a workflow. Is there a better way to get a (latest revision only) listing like that? Thanks, Peter
