.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
.P
|
|
Search the registry for packages matching the search terms\. \fBnpm search\fP
|
|
performs a linear, incremental, lexically\-ordered search through package
|
|
metadata for all files in the registry\. If color is enabled, it will further
|
|
highlight the matches in the results\.
|
|
.P
|
|
Additionally, using the \fB\-\-searchopts\fP and \fB\-\-searchexclude\fP options paired with
|
|
more search terms will respectively include and exclude further patterns\. The
|
|
main difference between \fB\-\-searchopts\fP and the standard search terms is that the
|
|
former does not highlight results in the output and can be used for more
|
|
fine\-grained filtering\. Additionally, both of these can be added to \fB\|\.npmrc\fP for
|
|
default search filtering behavior\.
|
|
.P
|
|
Search also allows targeting of maintainers in search results, by prefixing
|
|
their npm username with \fB=\fP\|\.
|
|
.P
|
|
If a term starts with \fB/\fP, then it's interpreted as a regular expression and
|
|
supports standard JavaScript RegExp syntax\. A trailing \fB/\fP will be ignored in
|
|
this case\. (Note that many regular expression characters must be escaped or
|
|
quoted in most shells\.)

Search the specified registry for modules\. If you have configured npm to point
|
|
to a different default registry, such as your internal private module
|
|
repository, \fBnpm search\fP will default to that registry when searching\. Pass a
|
|
different registry url such as the default above in order to override this
|
|
setting\.
