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?

A proxy repository is a substitute access point and managed cache for remote repositories. These could be the public repositories for open source components or private repositories such as another Nexus Repository for instance.
Search in the browser: You can search for a specific repository in both browsers by clicking on the filter icon. Keyboard navigation: While in the browser, type the name of the repository you are searching for and Artifactory will navigate you to that repository.
Available in Nexus Repository OSS and Nexus Repository Pro Users with the nx-repository-view Privilege can access the left navigation item. Click on the Browse button in the main toolbar and then the left navigation Browse item to access the Browse feature.
A repository with the type proxy, also known as a proxy repository, is a repository that is linked to a remote repository.
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/
