# npm-search

Search for packages

## SYNOPSIS

    npm search [search terms ...]

## DESCRIPTION

Search the registry for packages matching the search terms.

If a term starts with `/`, then it's interpreted as a regular expression. A trailing `/` will be ignored in this case. (Note that many regular expression characters must be escaped or quoted in most shells.)
