Description

       Search the registry for packages matching the search terms. npm search
       performs a linear, incremental, lexically-ordered search through package
       metadata for all files in the registry. If your terminal has color
       support, it will further highlight the matches in the results.  This can
       be disabled with the config item color

       Additionally, using the --searchopts and --searchexclude options
       paired with more search terms will include and exclude further patterns.
       The main difference between --searchopts and the standard search terms
       is that the former does not highlight results in the output and you can
       use them more fine-grained filtering. Additionally, you can add both of
       these to your config to change default search filtering behavior.

       Search also allows targeting of maintainers in search results, by prefixing
       their npm username with =.

       If a term starts with /, then it's interpreted as a regular expression
       and supports standard JavaScript RegExp syntax. In this case search will
       ignore a trailing /.  (Note you must escape or quote many regular
       expression characters in most shells.)
