cargo-search(1) General Commands Manual cargo-search(1)
NAME
cargo-search -- Search packages in the registry. Default registry is
crates.io
SYNOPSIS
cargo search [options] [query<?>]
DESCRIPTION
This performs a textual search for crates on <https://crates.io>. The
matching crates will be displayed along with their description in TOML
format suitable for copying into a Cargo.toml manifest.
OPTIONS
Search Options
--limit limit
Limit the number of results (default: 10, max: 100).
--index index
The URL of the registry index to use.
--registry registry
Name of the registry to use. Registry names are defined in Cargo
config files
<https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/reference/config.html>. If not
specified, the default registry is used, which is defined by the
registry.default config key which defaults to crates-io.
Display Options
-v, --verbose
Use verbose output. May be specified twice for "very verbose"
output which includes extra output such as dependency warnings and
build script output. May also be specified with the term.verbose
config value
<https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/reference/config.html>.
-q, --quiet
Do not print cargo log messages. May also be specified with the
term.quiet config value
<https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/reference/config.html>.
--color when
Control when colored output is used. Valid values:
o auto (default): Automatically detect if color support is
available on the terminal.
o always: Always display colors.
o never: Never display colors.
May also be specified with the term.color config value
<https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/reference/config.html>.
Common Options
+toolchain
If Cargo has been installed with rustup, and the first argument to
cargo begins with +, it will be interpreted as a rustup toolchain
name (such as +stable or +nightly). See the rustup documentation
<https://rust-lang.github.io/rustup/overrides.html> for more
information about how toolchain overrides work.
--config KEY=VALUE or PATH
Overrides a Cargo configuration value. The argument should be in
TOML syntax of KEY=VALUE, or provided as a path to an extra
configuration file. This flag may be specified multiple times. See
the command-line overrides section
<https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/reference/config.html#command-line-overrides>
for more information.
-C PATH
Changes the current working directory before executing any
specified operations. This affects things like where cargo looks by
default for the project manifest (Cargo.toml), as well as the
directories searched for discovering .cargo/config.toml, for
example. This option must appear before the command name, for
example cargo -C path/to/my-project build.
This option is only available on the nightly channel
<https://doc.rust-lang.org/book/appendix-07-nightly-rust.html> and
requires the -Z unstable-options flag to enable (see #10098
<https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/issues/10098>).
-h, --help
Prints help information.
-Z flag
Unstable (nightly-only) flags to Cargo. Run cargo -Z help for
details.
ENVIRONMENT
See the reference
<https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/reference/environment-variables.html>
for details on environment variables that Cargo reads.
EXIT STATUS
o 0: Cargo succeeded.
o 101: Cargo failed to complete.
