npm s [search terms ...]
npm se [search terms ...]
</code></pre><h2 id="description">DESCRIPTION</h2>
<p>Search the registry for packages matching the search terms.</p>
<p>If a term starts with <code>/</code>, then it&#39;s interpreted as a regular expression.
A trailing <code>/</code> will be ignored in this case.  (Note that many regular
expression characters must be escaped or quoted in most shells.)</p>

<ul>
<li>Default: false</li>
<li>Type: Boolean</li>
</ul>
<p>Display full package descriptions and other long text across multiple
lines. When disabled (default) search results are truncated to fit
neatly on a single line. Modules with extremely long names will
fall on multiple lines.</p>
