# axiom search

Search the Axiom package marketplace

Search for packages, nodes, or messages in the Axiom marketplace.

When called without a query, lists recently published packages.
Use --type to search nodes or messages instead of packages.
Use --json for machine-readable output (e.g. to find a message to import).

Examples:
```text
axiom search
axiom search order-processing
axiom search --type nodes "validate order"
axiom search --type messages Payment --json
```

## Usage

```sh
axiom search [query] [flags]
```

## Flags

| Flag | Shorthand | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| `--help` | `-h` | bool |  | help for search |
| `--json` |  | bool |  | Emit structured JSON instead of human-readable tables |
| `--type` | `-t` | string | `packages` | entity type to search: packages, nodes, or messages |
