Problem

How to use the tlmgr search command: Search for TeX Live packages using (Perl) regex. More information: <https://www.tug.org/texlive/doc/tlmgr.html#search>.

Solution

tlmgr search — Search for TeX Live packages using (Perl) regex. More information: <https://www.tug.org/texlive/doc/tlmgr.html#search>.

Search for a package name and descriptions of all locally installed packages from a specific regex:
tlmgr search "{{regex}}"


Search for all file names of all locally installed packages from a regex:
tlmgr search --file "{{regex}}"


Search for all file names, package names, and descriptions of all locally installed packages from a regex:
tlmgr search --all "{{regex}}"


Search the TeX Live database, instead of the local installation:
tlmgr search --global "{{regex}}"


Restrict the matches for package names and descriptions (but not for file names) to whole words:
tlmgr search --all --word "{{regex}}"
