dsearch

dsearch

is a CLI tool for searching and reading offline documentation (via DevDocs).

Tools

dsearch

The primary command for interacting with documentation.

Examples

List installed documentation

To see what documentation is available:

bash

dsearch list

Search for a specific term

To search for a term across all installed documentation:

bash

dsearch "query string"

Search within a specific documentation set

To narrow down the search to a specific language or library (e.g., Go):

bash

dsearch "http.Client" --doc go

Read documentation in Markdown format

For LLM consumption, always use

--format md

to get clean Markdown output, and include

--full

to ensure the entire page is retrieved without truncation:

bash

dsearch "http.Client" --doc go --format md --full

Install new documentation

If the required documentation is missing:

bash

dsearch install python

Best Practices

Always use
```
--format md
```
when valid to get machine-readable output.
Use
```
--full
```
to retrieve the complete documentation page, preventing truncation of long articles.
Use
```
--doc <name>
```
to reduce noise when you know the context (e.g., searching for
```
Map
```
in
```
go
```
vs
```
javascript
```
).
If a search returns too many results, try a more specific query or use the
```
--limit
```
flag.
