Package Search Not Working - E.g., Search for apache log4j and it can't be found using Maven Central as the repo

[donrwilliams]

On MacOS, simple Java project with Maven:
IntelliJ IDEA 2024.1.3 (Ultimate Edition)
Build #IU-241.17890.1, built on June 3, 2024

Package Search Plugin:
241.0.11

Maven pom.xml repository:

    <repository>
        <id>maven_central</id>
        <name>Maven Central</name>
        <url>https://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2/</url>
    </repository>

Trying to add dependency for org.apache.logging.log4j-api using the Package Search tool window in the IDE.

Searching for log4j does not show the Apache Log4J, but shows other results that I am not interested in.

The only workaround for me was to manually add the following dependency to pom.xml, then Apache Log4J shows up in Package Search as an existing dependency:

    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.apache.logging.log4j</groupId>
        <artifactId>log4j-api</artifactId>
        <version>2.23.1</version>
    </dependency>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.apache.logging.log4j</groupId>
        <artifactId>log4j-core</artifactId>
        <version>2.23.1</version>
    </dependency>
