`conda search`¶

Search for packages and display associated information.: The input is a MatchSpec, a query language for conda packages. See examples below.

Options:

usage: conda search [-h] [--envs] [-i] [--subdir SUBDIR] [-c CHANNEL]
                    [--use-local] [--override-channels] [-C] [-k] [--offline]
                    [--json] [-v] [-q]

Named Arguments¶

`--envs`	Search all of the current user’s environments. If run as Administrator (on Windows) or UID 0 (on unix), search all known environments on the system.
`-i, --info`	Provide detailed information about each package.
`--subdir, --platform`
	Search the given subdir. Should be formatted like ‘osx-64’, ‘linux-32’, ‘win-64’, and so on. The default is to search the current platform.

Channel Customization¶

`-c, --channel`	Additional channel to search for packages. These are URLs searched in the order they are given (including file:// for local directories). Then, the defaults or channels from .condarc are searched (unless –override-channels is given). You can use ‘defaults’ to get the default packages for conda. You can also use any name and the .condarc channel_alias value will be prepended. The default channel_alias is http://conda.anaconda.org/.
`--use-local`	Use locally built packages. Identical to ‘-c local’.
`--override-channels`
	Do not search default or .condarc channels. Requires –channel.

Networking Options¶

`-C, --use-index-cache`
	Use cache of channel index files, even if it has expired.
`-k, --insecure`	Allow conda to perform “insecure” SSL connections and transfers. Equivalent to setting ‘ssl_verify’ to ‘false’.
`--offline`	Offline mode. Don’t connect to the Internet.

Output, Prompt, and Flow Control Options¶

`--json`	Report all output as json. Suitable for using conda programmatically.
`-v, --verbose`	Use once for info, twice for debug, three times for trace.
`-q, --quiet`	Do not display progress bar.

Examples:

Search for a specific package named ‘scikit-learn’:

conda search scikit-learn

Search for packages containing ‘scikit’ in the package name:

conda search scikit

Note that your shell may expand ‘*’ before handing the command over to conda. Therefore it is sometimes necessary to use single or double quotes around the query.

conda search ‘scikit’ conda search “*scikit”

Search for packages for 64-bit Linux (by default, packages for your current platform are shown):

conda search numpy[subdir=linux-64]

Search for a specific version of a package:

conda search ‘numpy>=1.12’

Search for a package on a specific channel

conda search conda-forge::numpy conda search ‘numpy[channel=conda-forge, subdir=osx-64]’
