Search the Chart Repository

Now that our repository Chart list has been updated, we can search for Charts.

To list all Charts:

helm search

That should output something similiar to:


NAME                                    CHART VERSION   APP VERSION                     DESCRIPTION                                                 
stable/acs-engine-autoscaler            2.2.0           2.1.1                           Scales worker...

...

You can see from the output that it dumped the list of all Charts it knows about. In some cases that may be useful, but an even more useful search would involve a keyword argument. So next, we’ll search just for NGINX:

helm search nginx

That results in:


NAME                            CHART VERSION   APP VERSION     DESCRIPTION

This new list of Charts are specific to nginx, because we passed the nginx argument to the search command.
