npm-search(1) -- Search for packages

SYNOPSIS

npm search [-l|--long] [search terms ...]

aliases: s, se, find

DESCRIPTION

Search the registry for packages matching the search terms.

If a term starts with /, then it's interpreted as a regular expression. A trailing / will be ignored in this case. (Note that many regular expression characters must be escaped or quoted in most shells.)

CONFIGURATION

long

• Default: false
• Type: Boolean

Display full package descriptions and other long text across multiple lines. When disabled (default) search results are truncated to fit neatly on a single line. Modules with extremely long names will fall on multiple lines.

registry

• Default: https://registry.npmjs.org/
• Type : url

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, npm search will default to that registry when searching. Pass a different registry url such as the default above in order to override this setting.
