Search in remote (proxy) repositories in Nexus/Artifactory UI

In the Nexus 2 UI, we often use the feature to search through all repositories, may they be hosted or proxy. This means that a search for "log4j" will reveal all log4j artifacts available in MavenCentral, may they be cached or not.

Today I learned that Nexus 3 does not have this feature (which actually astonished my colleagues and me).

Does Artifactory have such a feature?

Can it search through remote repositories (like Jboss, Atlassian, MavenCentral,...) in the UI?

You can search one remote repository through the UI - jcenter.

There is no option to search other repositories like you suggested that i know of. But the good news is - taken directly from jfrogs homepage:

"jcenter is the largest Java Repository on earth, so whatever is available on Maven Central is available on jcenter as well." -- https://jfrog.com/knowledge-base/why-should-i-use-jcenter-over-maven-central/
