    I have enabled preview packages and I am trying to find preview packages.

    In Unity 2021.1.0f1 I have tried to find two different terms:
    grid
    and
    python


    Why do they not come up when I search? Are they not in the Unity registry?

    I know ProGrids is a Unity package, and according to this link:

    https://forum.unity.com/threads/python-for-unity-install.1112248/#post-7286809

    The Python package is called
    com.unity.scripting.python
    .

    This makes me think it should also be searchable. Why is it not?

    And where is a central repository of ALL the other stuff I can't pull up without this "find the magic name" method?

    Hi, it might not be exactly the answer you are looking for, but I wanted to let you know that you can also use Search to search for a package when you prefix your query with
    pkg:
