You can search for Ansible collections by name using the Artifact Package Search or through the REST API.
Search Ansible Collections via UI
Artifactory supports a variety of ways to search for artifacts. For details, please refer to Browse and Search Artifacts. However, the collection may not be available immediately after being published, for the following reasons:
When publishing collections to a local repository, Artifactory calculates the search index asynchronously and will wait to index the newly published collections.
Since a virtual repository may contain local repositories, a newly published collection may not be available immediately for the same reason.
In the case of remote repositories, a new collection will only be found once Artifactory checks for it according to the Retrieval Cache Period setting.

Search Artifactory using REST API. Refer to Artifact Search API.
Tip
Artifactory annotates each deployed or cached Ansible collection with the following properties:
ansible.name, ansible.namespace, ansible.fullname, ansible.version, ansible.tags, ansible.requires and ansible.id
You can use Property Search to search for Ansible collections according to their name or version.
