cmake: install/deploy find-module for multiple projects

I have a custom (complex) Find-cmake module. Everything works just fine.

My problem is that i need this find-module in many projects to detect my libraray (like the QT cmake stuff).

Is it possible to install my module in a central directory where i can "find" it?

I know that i have to set the CMAKE_MODULE_PATH to the directory, but for a central install location this approach seems to be strange.

So what is the preferred way to use a find module in multiple projects?

Actually there is a registry for CMake packages:

https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/manual/cmake-packages.7.html#user-package-registry

Note that I never used it, because where I work we do both compilation and cross-compilation on the same box, thus we have to have different cmake files
