There are a few useful tools here. Firstly, "bitbake-layers show-recipes" will 
list all recipes available in your current configuration, the versions 
available and which layers they are provided by. You can also specify a search 
keyword on the command line.

Additionally, "bitbake -s" will list all available "targets" (recipes, plus 
any BBCLASSEXTENDed variants, e.g. zlib-native) and the latest and current 
preferred versions.

Lastly, if you want to search all available recipes in community layers, there 
is now an online metadata index available:
