I am new to Drupal.
At this stage of my learning it would be helpful to have a listing of all the modules with descriptions...so I can sift and sort them, then create list of ones I want for particular site.
I have built some lists of modules from this site by cutting and pasting page by page, but that is gruesome work.
Wonder if there is some way I pull a topic like e-Commerce (370) and get it in a format I could up-loadto a spreadsheet or database.

module finder

That's basically what module finder is for, to help you sort through all the modules.
There's also this list.
Topical lists

The trouble I have with both list formats is the lack of an ability to a generate a more limited listing by topic and version with the description—and--- get it all on one page.
Is there some way to change the number of entries per page? That would work for me.
For example: In the category list, e commerce shows 370 modules.
Going to the module finder and filtering for V6. brings back ten pages with nine entries. Better,but still nine operations to put them all into an overview list.

I had not noticed advanced search. I looked at it.
What would be very helpful for me the ability to filter or sort the list by title and / or the number of users and then ideally download the list for adding to a spreadsheet.
That would help me develop a broad overview of what is available in the category and what most people find works.
Example.
Version, title, name, no of users, description
6, Who Bought What|Ubercart, 424, This is for Ubercart. If you are using Ubercart to sell tickets or entries.....

One of my biggest problem in learning Drupal is the vast array of modules.
It's hard to keep what is where and what they do an if it works in 6 or 7 or 6 and 7.
I guess what I am asking, is there some way to come up with a short list that easy to scan.
I did this with the main Drupal list by cut and paste by popularity, breaking it at where it the number of users crossed from four digits to three, ignoring for the moment those with less than 1,000 users.
It's a nice list, but it took way too much time and way too much clicking.
Regret to say, I am not a young person anymore and my eyes and hands do not work as well as I would like anymore.
So hoped for some way to dump out a category in a delimited format and upload to the above field layout.
Any suggestion on how to make this a bit easier will be appreciated.
Thanks.
