<pre><code>npm help-search some search terms</code></pre>
<h2 id="DESCRIPTION">DESCRIPTION</h2>
<p>This command will search the npm markdown documentation files for the
terms provided, and then list the results, sorted by relevance.</p>
<p>If only one result is found, then it will show that help topic.</p>
<p>If the argument to <code>npm help</code> is not a known help topic, then it will
call <code>help-search</code>. It is rarely if ever necessary to call this
command directly.</p>
<h2 id="CONFIGURATION">CONFIGURATION</h2>
<h3 id="long">long</h3>
<ul><li>Type: Boolean</li><li>Default false</li></ul>
<p>If true, the &quot;long&quot; flag will cause help-search to output context around
where the terms were found in the documentation.</p>
<p>If false, then help-search will just list out the help topics found.</p>
