💖 UKUI-SEARCH(1) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the ukui-search manual page — it's the user-wide desktop search application and honestly? it's giving main character energy for your whole desktop. no cap. ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

ukui-search — user-wide desktop search application 🦋

like. it searches stuff. for your whole user. desktop vibes only. 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

ukui-search [options]

that's it. that's the whole vibe check. you run it, you give it options, slay. 🎀

💅 OPTIONS 💅

okay so here's the whole menu, and yes we're going through every single one because you deserve the full picture, bestie:

  • -h, --help — shows you help for the commandline options. literally the "what do I even do" button. 🙈
  • --help-all — shows help including the generic Qt options too, so you get the whole extended universe, not just the main plot. 🌈
  • -v, --version — tells you the version information. so you know exactly which era of ukui-search you're living in. ⭐
  • -q, --quit — quits the ukui-search application. bye bestie, we'll miss you. 😭
  • -s, --show — shows the main window. the main character steps on stage. 👑
  • --unregister <pluginName> — unregisters a plugin with <pluginName>. not me removing a plugin... it's fine, it's a glow up. 💀
  • --register <pluginName> — registers a plugin with <pluginName>. adding a plugin back like nothing happened. iconic. ✨
  • -m, --move <pluginName> — moves <pluginName> to the target pos. rearranging your little plugin besties into the right order. 🧚
  • -i, --index <index> — moves the plugin to <index>. yes, the index is the spot. the number. the address. the coordinates. 📍
ngl, the plugin options all work in pairs-ish vibes: register/unregister flips a plugin in or out, and -m/-i shuffles them around. keep your <pluginName> spellings exact, fr fr — it's a name, not a nickname. 💜

🦋 SEE ALSO 🦋

the full documentation for ukui-search is maintained as a Texinfo manual (yes, Texinfo, she's vintage and she's thriving 🎀). if the info and ukui-search programs are properly installed at your site, this command:

info ukui-search

should give you access to the complete manual. that's the whole lore drop. 📚✨

and that's the page, bestie!! 🫶 this was the UKUI-SEARCH(1) page from the General Commands Manual, and the footer energy is October 2025 — so like, this version of the docs is recent and we love her for it. go search something gorgeous. 💖🌸🦋
