cargo-search — Search packages in crates.io
SYNOPSIS
cargo search [options] [query…]
DESCRIPTION

crates will be displayed along with their description in TOML format suitable
for copying into a Cargo.toml manifest.

--limitlimit- Limit the number of results (default: 10, max: 100).
--indexindex- The URL of the registry index to use.
--registryregistry- Name of the registry to use. Registry names are defined in Cargo config
files. If not specified, the default registry is used,
which is defined by the
registry.defaultconfig key which defaults tocrates-io.
Display Options

includes extra output such as dependency warnings and build script output.

term.colorconfig value.
Common Options
+toolchain- If Cargo has been installed with rustup, and the first argument to

KEY=VALUE, or provided as a path to an extra configuration file. This flag may be specified multiple times. See the command-line overrides section for more information. -CPATH- Changes the current working directory before executing any specified operations. This affects
things like where cargo looks by default for the project manifest (
Cargo.toml), as well as the directories searched for discovering.cargo/config.toml, for example.This option is only available on the nightly channel and requires the
