`brew search` looks in these main taps and as well in [Homebrew/homebrew](https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew). So don't worry about missing stuff. We will add other taps to the search as they become well maintained and popular.
You can be added as a maintainer for one of the Homebrew organization taps and aid the project! If you are interested write to our list: homebrew@librelist.com. We want your help!
