You can specify a literal path to look in with the -p or --path option.
Or, you can specify an environment variable to take the path from with the -e or --env option.
The -pe or --pathext option is generally only useful on Windows,
and will look for files with extensions in the PATHEXT environment variable, for example,
pathsearch -pe -e PATH cmd will look for cmd.exe, cmd.bat, cmd.com etc. in the path.
