+To create your own collators/decorators modules, please use the [searchModuleCatalogCollator](https://github.com/backstage/backstage/blob/d7f955f300893f50c4882ea8f5c09aa42dfaacfd/plugins/search-backend-module-catalog/src/alpha.ts#L49) as an example, we recommend that modules are separated by plugin packages (e.g. `search-backend-module-<plugin-id>`). You can also find the available search engines and collator/decorator modules documentation in the Alpha API reports:
