Special:PrefixIndex is best available search engine for extensions. Selection "Extension" namespace. But, not an adequate search engine, because it searches only the beginning of the name.

Is there a search engine for extensions?

Or a complete list of all extensions on a single page?

thx

See Category:Extensions#Finding extensions

Thx for reply, but that's not a search engine for extensions, nor a complete list of all extensions on a single page.

I finally found an extension search engine here:

Manual:Extensions

Suggestion: put that search engine on these pages:

Category:Extensions

Special:AllPages/Extension:

However, i'm skeptical that this returns complete results, because searching for "prefix:Extension" only returns 111 results, and i think there must be more than 111 extensions.

Also found a complete list of all extensions, but not maintained:

Extension Matrix/AllExtensions

Is there a way to list on a single page all items with a certain prefix? Seems that ought to be a "SpecialPage".

This one seems a superior search engine, setting Namespace to "Extension":

Special:PrefixIndex

But, not an adequate search engine, because it searches only the beginning of the name.

Seems this would be a better extension search-engine to put on Manual:Extensions
