TRACKER3-SEARCH(1) Tracker manual TRACKER3-SEARCH(1)
NAME
tracker3-search - Search for content by type or across all types
SYNOPSIS
tracker3 search [options...] [[expression1] ...]
DESCRIPTION
tracker3 search searches all indexed content for expression. The
resource in which expression matches must exist (see --all for more
information). All results are returned in ascending order. In all
cases, if no expression is given for an argument (like --folders for
example) then ALL items in that category are returned instead.
expression
One or more terms to search. The default operation is a logical
AND. For logical OR operations, see -r.

--software-categories

-l, --limit=<limit>
Limit search to limit results. The default is 10 or 512 with
--disable-snippets.
-o, --offset=<offset>
Offset the search results by offset. For example, start at item
number 10 in the results. The default is 0.
-r, --or-operator
Use OR for search terms instead of AND (the default)
-d, --detailed
Show the unique URN associated with each search result. This does
not apply to --music-albums and --music-artists.
-a, --all
Show results which might not be available. This might bebecause a
removable media is not mounted for example. Without this option,
resources are only shown if they exist. This option applies to all
command line switches except
--disable-snippets
Results are shown with snippets. Snippets are context around the
word that was searched for in the first place. This gives some idea
of if the resource found is the right one. Snippets require Full
Text Search to be compile time enabled AND to not be disabled with
--disable-fts. Using --disable-snippets only shows the resources
which matched, no context is provided about where the match
occurred.
--disable-fts
If Full Text Search (FTS) is available, this option allows it to be
disabled for one off searches. This returns results slightly using
particular properties to match the search terms (like "nie:title")
instead of looking for the search terms amongst ALL properties. It
is more limiting to do this, but sometimes searching without FTS
can yield better results if the FTS ranking is off.
--disable-color
This disables any ANSI color use on the command line. By default
this is enabled to make it easier to see results.
