## OPTIONS

* --*field*[=*match*]:
    Display index records where *field* equals *match*. *field* can be any of name, url, info, tag/s or author. If *match* is not given, display only the given *field* from every record in the index. Use != to negate the query.

* --*field*[~/regex/]:
    Same as --*field*[=*match*], but using Regular Expressions. Use !~ to negate the query.

* --long:
    Display results in long format.

* --full:
    Display results in full format.

* --no-color:
    Turn off color display.

* -a, --and:
    Join the query with a logical AND operator.

* -o, --or:
    Join the query with a logical OR operator. This is the default operator.

* -q, --quiet:
    Enable quiet mode.

* -h, --help:
    Show help.

## RESULTS

Search prints results records in the same line, when using one or more of the following options: --name, --url, --info, --tags, --author. This allows you to parse search results easily.

```fish
fisher search shark --name --url --author

shark;https://github.com/fishery/shark;bucaran
```

## EXAMPLES

* Display plugins by name and format the result into multiple columns.

```fish
fisher search --name | column
```

* Display plugins by URL, remove *https://github.com/* and format into multiple columns.

```fish
fisher search --url | sed 's|https://github.com/||' | column
```

* Display remote plugins, i.e, those in the index, but *not* in the cache.

```fish
fisher search --and --name!=(fisher --list=bare)
```

* Search all plugins whose name does not start with the letter s.

```fish
fisher search --name!~/^s/
```
