PIP-SEARCH(1)

✨ PIP-SEARCH(1) ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the pip manual, section 1 — this is the pip-search page and it's literally so short you could read it in the time it takes to microwave a ramen cup 🍜

---

💖 NAME 💖

pip-search — the whole description of the pip search command, that's it, that's the name, we're keeping it real simple 💅

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

So like… you wanna find a PyPI package but you don't remember what it's called? Say less. pip search goes looking for PyPI packages whose name or summary contains your <query>. That's the vibe check. 🔍✨

---

🦋 USAGE 🦋

python -m pip search [options] <query>

run it, drop your <query> at the end, slay 💖

---

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

• -i, --index <url> — this is the base URL of the Python Package Index. the default is https://pypi.org/pypi (yes, that one 👑). it also reads from an environment variable: PIP_INDEX. so if you've got that set, that's the one it's using, no cap 🫶
