# scoop-search
[](https://github.com/shilangyu/scoop-search/actions)
Fast `scoop search` drop-in replacement 🚀
## Installation
```sh
scoop install scoop-search
```
## PowerShell hook
Instead of using `scoop-search.exe ` you can create a hook that will run `scoop-search.exe` whenever you use native `scoop search`
Add this to your Powershell profile (usually located at `$PROFILE`)
```ps1
Invoke-Expression (&scoop-search --hook)
```
## CMD.exe wrapper
If you use `cmd.exe` you can use a wrapper script to do the same. Name this `scoop.cmd` and add it to
a directory in your `%PATH%`
```
@echo off
if "%1" == "search" (
call :search_subroutine %*
) else (
powershell scoop.ps1 %*
)
goto :eof
:search_subroutine
set "args=%*"
set "newargs=%args:* =%"
scoop-search.exe %newargs%
goto :eof
```
## Features
Behaves just like `scoop search` and returns identical output. If any differences are found please open an issue.
**Non-goal**: any additional features unavailable in scoop search
## Building
This project uses Zig. Building and running works on all platforms, not only Windows.
Build with (output is stored in `./zig-out/bin`):
```sh
zig build -Doptimize=ReleaseFast
```
Run debug with:
```sh
zig build run -- searchterm
```
