DESCRIPTION

Search the Fisherman index database. You can use a custom index file by setting $fisher_index to your preferred url or file. See fisher help config and fisher(7)#{Index}.

A copy of the index is downloaded each time a search query happens, keeping the index up to date all the time.

The index file consists of records separated by blank lines '\n\n' and each record consists of fields separated by a single line '\n'.

OPTIONS

• -s --select[=all|cache|remote]: Select the record source. --select=cache queries only local plugins, i.e., those inside $fisher_cache. --select=remote queries all plugins not in the cache, i.e, those available to install. --select=all queries everything.

• -f --field=name|url|info|tag|author: Display only the given fields from the selected records. Use --field instead as a shortcut for --field=name.

• --field[=match]: Filter the result set by field=match, where field can be one or more of name, url, info, tag or author. If match is not given, this is equivalent to --select=field. Use != to negate the query.

• --field[~/regex/]: Essentially the same as --field=match, but with Regular Expression support. --field~/regex/ filters the result set using the given /regex/. For example, --name=/^match$/ is the same as --field=match and --url~/oh-my-fish/ selects only Oh My Fish! plugins. Use !~ to negate the query.

• -a --and: Join query with a logical AND operator.

• -o --or: Join query with a logical OR operator. This the default operator for each query operation.

• -Q --query=field[&&,||]field...: Use a custom search expression. For example, --query='name~/[0-9]/||name~/^[xyz]/' selects all plugins that contain numbers in their name or begin with the characters x, y or z.

• -q --quiet: Enable quiet mode.

• -h --search: Show usage search.

OUTPUT

The default behavior is to print the result set to standard output in its original format.

Search is optimized for parsing when using filters: --name, --url, --info, --tags, --author or --field=name|url|info|tag|author.

fisher search shark --name --url

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

The result set above consists of single line '\n' separated records where each record consists of one or more of the given fields separated by a semicolon ';'.

EXAMPLES

• Display all plugins by name and format into multiple columns.

fisher search --name | column

• Display all plugins by url, sans https://github.com/ and format into multiple columns.

fisher search --field=url --select=all | sed 's|https://github.com/||' | column

• Display all remote plugins by name tagged as a or b.

fisher search --select=remote --name --tag=github --or --tag=tool

• Search plugins from a list of one or more urls and / or names and display their authors.

fisher search $urls $names --url

• Search all plugins in the cache whose name does not start with the letter s.

fisher search --select=cache --name~/^[^s]/
