choco-search: Specify a custom source to search for packages in.
$ choco search ${query} --source ${select}
try on your machine

The command "choco search ${query} --source ${select}" is used in chocolatey package manager to search for packages based on ${query} keyword and from a specific package source specified by ${select}.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • "choco" refers to the chocolatey package manager command.
  • "search" is the action being performed, which is searching for packages.
  • "${query}" is a placeholder for the keyword or package name that you want to search for. You would replace it with your actual desired search term.
  • "--source" is an option that specifies the package source to search within. "${select}" is a placeholder for the specific package source you want to use. You would replace ${select} with the actual package source name like "chocolatey" (the default package source for chocolatey) or the name of a custom package source you have set up.

So overall, running this command will search for packages matching the provided keyword in the specified package source.
