# cargo ssearch -- cargo search on steroids
With cargo search you often can miss very used packages, for example `cargo search serialize` does not show `serde` in the default output and it only shows `serde_json` if you ask for the first 20 results.
This search tool gets the results sorted by downloads (or recent downloads) and optionally displayes additional useful resoruces linke homepage and documentation for the user to go and have a look. The output uses colours to distinguish the reults (hopefully) more clearly.
The usage is as simple as typing `cargo ssearch --help`
```

cargo search on steroids
USAGE:
cargo ssearch [FLAGS] [OPTIONS]
FLAGS:
-h, --help Prints help information
-q, --quiet quiet output, display only crate, version and downloads
-r, --recent sort by recent downloads instead of overall downloads
-V, --version Prints version information
OPTIONS:
-l, --limit how many packages to display [default: 10]
--page the crates.io search result page to display [default: 1]
ARGS:
query string for crates.io
```
The software was a very fastly made hack, but I am using it and I am happy on how it works.
The information are obtained directly from crates.io.
## Build
It is enough to clone the repo and compile it with cargo:
```
$ git clone https://github.com/mseri/scrutch
$ cd scrutch
$ cargo build --release
```
The tool can then be run via cargo itself or installed in a local path and run as standalone app.
## Examples
```
$ cargo ssearch serialize --limit 20 -q

# TODO
The tool has never been updated as it still works properly.
It would be nice to find the time to update the code to more modern and idiomatic rust.
