Table: Searching applications with specific searches
You can also chain multiple search keywords separated with whitespace.
Example: Search for all android applications containing libtiff from user Malakias:
file:.apk lib:libtiff user:malakiasYou can use an asterisk anywhere in the file keyword search term for wildcard searches,
for example, file:*.bin. All searches are case-insensitive.
CVE entries can be searched also with the following queries: 2014-1234, CVE-2014-1234 and cve:CVE-2014-1234
Some of the keywords support excluding search. Example: Search all applications not containing bzip2:
-lib:bzip2
