# search

It's one of favorite commands in the Veye - as Vim user, i love when i can lookup artifact id and a latest version without leaving editor.

`Search` command ables you to find software packages by matching your search term with an artifact ids on the VersionEye. It may return more results than you were even expecting -  you can use command attributes to filter down search results.

`Search` command supports like most of other commands 4 output formats: pretty, csv, json and table.

#### Examples

###### Basic package search with language filtering

 ```bash
$> veye search junit
$> veye search -l java
$> veye search --language java
$> veye search --language-name=java

#search packages for multiple languages
$> veye search --lang=nodejs,php
 ```

###### Paginate through results

```
$> veye search junit --page 2
$> veye search junit --page-number=2
$> veye search json --lang=r,php --page=2

# you can cancel pagination with --no-pagination argument
$> veye search junit --page 3 --no-pagination
```

###### Output formats

```
$> veye search rails --format=pretty
$> veye search rails --format=csv
$> veye search rails --format=json
$> veye search rails --format=table
```
