LOCALSEARCH-SEARCH(1) LocalSearch manual LOCALSEARCH-SEARCH(1) NAME localsearch-search - Search for content by type or across all types SYNOPSIS localsearch search [options...] [resource-type] <search-terms> DESCRIPTION localsearch search searches all indexed content for the given search terms. Results are returned in ascending order. <search-terms> One or more words to search for. When multiple terms are provided, the default operation is a logical AND. For logical OR operations, see -r. If no search terms are supplied but a resource-type is given (like --folders for example), then ALL items in that category are returned. Only resources which currently exist will be returned by this command (see --all for more information). RESOURCE TYPES -f, --files Search for files of any type matching search-terms. -s, --folders Search for folders matching search-terms. -m, --music Search for music files matching search-terms. --music-albums Search for music albums matching search-terms. --music-artists Search for music artists matching search-terms. -i, --images Search for images matching search-terms. -v, --videos Search for videos matching search-terms. -t, --documents Search for documents matching search-terms. --software Search for software installed matching search-terms. Returns a list of desktop files and application titles found. --software-categories Search for software categories matching search-terms. Returns a list of urns and their categories (e.g. Settings, Video, Utility, etc). --feeds Search through RSS feed information matching search-terms. Returns a list of those found. OPTIONS -l, --limit=<limit> Limit search to limit results. The default is 10 or 512 with --dis- able-snippets. -o, --offset=<offset> Offset the search results by offset. For example, start at item number 10 in the results. The default is 0. -r, --or-operator Use OR for search terms instead of AND (the default) -d, --detailed Show the unique URN associated with each search result. This does not apply to --music-albums and --music-artists. -a, --all Show results which might not be available. This might bebecause a re- movable media is not mounted for example. Without this option, re- sources are only shown if they exist. This option applies to all re- source types except for --music-artists, --software, --software-cate- gories and --feeds. --disable-snippets Results are shown with snippets. Snippets are context around the word that was searched for in the first place. This gives some idea of if the resource found is the right one. Snippets require Full Text Search to be compile time enabled AND to not be disabled with --disable-fts. Using --disable-snippets only shows the resources which matched, no context is provided about where the match occurred. --disable-fts If Full Text Search (FTS) is available, this option allows it to be disabled for one off searches. This returns results slightly using par- ticular properties to match the search terms (like "nie:title") instead of looking for the search terms amongst ALL properties. It is more lim- iting to do this, but sometimes searching without FTS can yield better results if the FTS ranking is off. --disable-color This disables any ANSI color use on the command line. By default this is enabled to make it easier to see results. SEE ALSO localsearch status(1), localsearch tag(1), localsearch info(1). 3.8.2 08/04/2026 LOCALSEARCH-SEARCH(1)
