apk-search(8)
apk search - search for packages by name or description
apk search [<options>...] pattern...
apk search searches all repositories for packages matching at least one pattern. If no pattern is given, it lists all packages in the configured repositories (see apk-repositories(5)). A pattern matches if it is a case-insensitive substring of the package name.
In addition to the global options (see apk(8)), apk search supports the following options:
-a, --all Print all matching package versions. By default, apk only shows the latest version.
-d, --description Also search for pattern in the package description. By default, apk does not search package descriptions.
-e, -x, --exact Match package names exactly.
--has-origin Match by package origin. Shows all packages whose base package name matches pattern exactly. Implies --all and --exact.
-o, --origin Print base package name.
-r, --rdepends Print reverse dependencies (other packages which depend on the package).
