# Description
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
`nix search` searches *installable* (which must be evaluatable, e.g. a
|
||
|
|
flake) for packages whose name or description matches all of the
|
||
|
|
regular expressions *regex*. For each matching package, It prints the
|
||
|
|
full attribute name (from the root of the installable), the version
|
||
|
|
and the `meta.description` field, highlighting the substrings that
|
||
|
|
were matched by the regular expressions. If no regular expressions are
|
||
|
|
specified, all packages are shown.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
# Flake output attributes
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If no flake output attribute is given, `nix search` searches for
|
||
|
|
packages:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Directly underneath `packages.<system>`.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Underneath `legacyPackages.<system>`, recursing into attribute sets
|
||
|
|
that contain an attribute `recurseForDerivations = true`.
