TYPO3's Extension Manager is a great way to easily import extensions into your web site. But, how many times have you searched for an extension you know is there and had no results?

This may be because your settings on what extensions the manager is allowed to search for keep you from finding the extension you are looking for.

There are two settings, one for reviewed extensions and one for all extensions. Reviewed extensions are certainly completely safe, but so are many unreviewed extensions. If your are set to search only for reviewed extensions, you will miss many others.

As long as you know that the extensions you need are safe, reviewed or not, you can change your settings so that all extensions in the repository may be searched for and downloaded.

Go to Settings

Check the "Enable extensions without review (basic security check):" box

Now, you can search for all extensions!
