Search

By default Snipline searches the name, command, alias, and tags for a match against your search term. As of 0.7.0 Snipline uses Lunr.js for searching.

With that in mind you can use the following syntax to search:

• + - word must appear in results. E.g. +sql.
• - - word must not appear in results. E.g. -git.
• * - Wildcard. E.g. grep*, *sql, *sh*.
• ~<number> - Fuzzy matches. E.g. gyt~1

Searching specific attributes

The following attributes can be searched

• name - The name of the snippet.
• docs - The snippet documentation.
• alias - The snippet alias.
• command - The command associated with the snippet.
• tags - The tags associated with the snippet.

For example, you can search for all of the snippets that are tagged sql like this.

1
tags:sql

Another example, you want to search documentation that contains the word Linux or unix, you could do the following

1
docs:*nix

Escaping search syntax

git \-\-log
