### Display non-truncated description (--no-trunc)
This example displays images with a name containing 'busybox',
at least 3 stars and the description isn't truncated in the output:
```bash
$ docker search --filter=stars=3 --no-trunc busybox
NAME DESCRIPTION STARS OFFICIAL AUTOMATED
busybox Busybox base image. 325 [OK]
progrium/busybox 50 [OK]
radial/busyboxplus Full-chain, Internet enabled, busybox made from scratch. Comes in git and cURL flavors. 8 [OK]
```
### Limit search results (--limit)
The flag `--limit` is the maximum number of results returned by a search. This value could
be in the range between 1 and 100. The default value of `--limit` is 25.
### Filtering
The filtering flag (`-f` or `--filter`) format is a `key=value` pair. If there is more
than one filter, then pass multiple flags (e.g. `--filter is-automated=true --filter stars=3`)
The currently supported filters are:
- stars (int - number of stars the image has)
- is-automated (boolean - true or false) - is the image automated or not
- is-official (boolean - true or false) - is the image official or not
#### stars
This example displays images with a name containing 'busybox' and at
least 3 stars:
```bash
$ docker search --filter stars=3 busybox
NAME DESCRIPTION STARS OFFICIAL AUTOMATED
busybox Busybox base image. 325 [OK]
progrium/busybox 50 [OK]
radial/busyboxplus Full-chain, Internet enabled, busybox made... 8 [OK]
```
#### is-automated
This example displays images with a name containing 'busybox'
and are automated builds:
```bash
$ docker search --filter is-automated=true busybox
NAME DESCRIPTION STARS OFFICIAL AUTOMATED
progrium/busybox 50 [OK]
radial/busyboxplus Full-chain, Internet enabled, busybox made... 8 [OK]
```
#### is-official
This example displays images with a name containing 'busybox', at least
3 stars and are official builds:
```bash
$ docker search --filter is-official=true --filter stars=3 busybox
NAME DESCRIPTION STARS OFFICIAL AUTOMATED
progrium/busybox 50 [OK]
radial/busyboxplus Full-chain, Internet enabled, busybox made... 8 [OK]
```
### Format the output
The formatting option (`--format`) pretty-prints search output
using a Go template.
Valid placeholders for the Go template are:
| Placeholder | Description |
| -------------- | --------------------------------- |
| `.Name` | Image Name |
| `.Description` | Image description |
| `.StarCount` | Number of stars for the image |
| `.IsOfficial` | "OK" if image is official |
| `.IsAutomated` | "OK" if image build was automated |
When you use the `--format` option, the `search` command will
output the data exactly as the template declares. If you use the
`table` directive, column headers are included as well.
The following example uses a template without headers and outputs the
`Name` and `StarCount` entries separated by a colon (`:`) for all images:
```bash
$ docker search --format "{{.Name}}: {{.StarCount}}" nginx
nginx: 5441
jwilder/nginx-proxy: 953
richarvey/nginx-php-fpm: 353
million12/nginx-php: 75
webdevops/php-nginx: 70
h3nrik/nginx-ldap: 35
bitnami/nginx: 23
evild/alpine-nginx: 14
million12/nginx: 9
maxexcloo/nginx: 7
```
This example outputs a table format:
```bash
$ docker search --format "table {{.Name}}\t{{.IsAutomated}}\t{{.IsOfficial}}" nginx
NAME AUTOMATED OFFICIAL
nginx [OK]
jwilder/nginx-proxy [OK]
richarvey/nginx-php-fpm [OK]
jrcs/letsencrypt-nginx-proxy-companion [OK]
million12/nginx-php [OK]
webdevops/php-nginx [OK]
```
