## Synopsis
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```no-highlight
|
||
|
|
vcpkg search [options] [query]
|
||

## Description
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Searches for available packages by name and description.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Search performs a case-insensitive search through all available package names and descriptions. The results are displayed in a tabular format.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Example
|
||
|
|
```no-highlight
|
||
|
|
$ vcpkg search zlib
|
||
|
|
miniz 2.2.0#1 Single C source file zlib-replacement library
|
||
|
|
zlib 1.2.12#1 A compression library
|
||
|
|
zlib-ng 2.0.6 zlib replacement with optimizations for 'next generation' systems
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Options
|
||
|
|
|
||
|

By default, long descriptions will be truncated to keep the tabular output browsable.
