Search

Find the code you need without leaving the app, terminal, or HTTP client. Cache exposes the same searchable library across all three interfaces.

Overview

Cache searches:

• Snippet titles
• Code content
• Tags
• Notes
• Language identifiers
• Descriptions

Search in the Web App

Basic Search

1. Open the dashboard search input.
2. Type a query.
3. Review the filtered results.

The dashboard updates immediately as you type.

Combining Search Terms

Multiple words narrow the result set:

auth middleware typescript

Search in the CLI

Basic Search

# Search for a term
cache search "auth middleware"

# Search with filters
cache search "typescript" --tags react,hooks

# JSON output for scripting
cache search "deploy" --format json

Search Options

Search via API

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \
  "https://cache.example.com/api/v1/snippets?query=auth+middleware&tag=typescript"

Troubleshooting

No Results Found

1. Check spelling.
2. Try a simpler term.
3. Clear filters.
4. Make sure the current browser session or CLI profile points at the expected Cache instance.

Slow Search

1. Use more specific search terms.
2. Add a tag filter.
3. Confirm the underlying app instance is healthy.

Results Not Updating

1. Refresh the page or retry the command.
2. Confirm you are using the expected data source.
3. Re-open the snippet to verify the latest saved content.
