.TH "NPM-SEARCH" "1" "February 2026" "NPM@11.11.0" "".SH "NAME"\fBnpm-search\fR - Search for packages.SS "Synopsis".P.RS 2.nfnpm search <search term> \[lB]<search term> ...\[rB] aliases: find, s, se.fi.RE.PNote: This command is unaware of workspaces..SS "Description".PSearch the registry for packages matching the search terms. \fBnpm search\fR performs a linear, incremental, lexically-ordered search through package metadata for all files in the registry. If your terminal has color support, it will further highlight the matches in the results. This can be disabled with the config item \fBcolor\fR.PAdditionally, using the \fB--searchopts\fR and \fB--searchexclude\fR options paired with more search terms will include and exclude further patterns. The main difference between \fB--searchopts\fR and the standard search terms is that the former does not highlight results in the output and you can use them more fine-grained filtering. Additionally, you can add both of these to your config to change default search filtering behavior..PSearch also allows targeting of maintainers in search results, by prefixing their npm username with \fB=\fR..PIf a term starts with \fB/\fR, then it's interpreted as a regular expression and supports standard JavaScript RegExp syntax. In this case search will ignore a trailing \fB/\fR . (Note you must escape or quote many regular expression characters in most shells.).SS "Configuration".SS "\fBjson\fR".RS 0.IP \(bu 4Default: false.IP \(bu 4Type: Boolean.RE 0 .PWhether or not to output JSON data, rather than the normal output..RS 0.IP \(bu 4In \fBnpm pkg set\fR it enables parsing set values with JSON.parse() before saving them to your \fBpackage.json\fR..RE 0 .PNot supported by all npm commands..SS "\fBcolor\fR".RS 0.IP \(bu 4Default: true unless the NO_COLOR environ is set to something other than '0'.IP \(bu 4Type: "always" or Boolean.RE 0 .PIf false, never shows colors.
