@ -9,13 +9,18 @@ podman\-search - Search a registry for an image
## DESCRIPTION
**podman search** searches a registry or a list of registries for a matching image.
The user can specify which registry to search by prefixing the registry in the search term
(example **registry.fedoraproject.org/fedora**), default is the registries in the
**registries.search** table in the config file - **/etc/containers/registries.conf**.
(e.g., **registry.fedoraproject.org/fedora**). By default, all
unqualified-search registries in `containers-registries.conf(5)` are used.
The default number of results is 25. The number of results can be limited using the **--limit** flag.
If more than one registry is being searched, the limit will be applied to each registry. The output can be filtered
using the **--filter** flag. To get all available images in a registry without a specific
search term, the user can just enter the registry name with a trailing "/" (example **registry.fedoraproject.org/**).
Note, searching without a search term will only work for registries that implement the v2 API.
Note that **podman search** is not a reliable way to determine the presence or existence of an image.
The search behavior of the v1 and v2 Docker distribution API is specific to the implementation of each registry.
Some registries may not support searching at all.
Further note that searching without a search term will only work for registries that implement the v2 API.
