## DESCRIPTION

g.search.module searches for given keyword in GRASS GIS modules name, description, keywords and optionally manpages, too. Also installed addons are considered in the search.

## NOTES

Multiple keywords may be specified, g.search.modules will search for all of them.

## EXAMPLE

Search all modules, where keywords buffer OR clip can be found:

    g.search.modules keyword=buffer,clip

    r.circle
        keywords: raster,buffer,geometry,circle
        description: Creates a raster map containing concentric rings around a
                     given point.

    r.buffer.lowmem
        keywords: raster,buffer
        description: Creates a raster map showing buffer zones surrounding cells
                     that contain non-NULL category values. This is the low-
                     memory alternative to the classic r.buffer module.

    r.buffer
        keywords: raster,buffer
        description: Creates a raster map showing buffer zones surrounding cells
                     that contain non-NULL category values.

Search all modules, where keywords overlay AND clip can be found with some fancy terminal output (not shown here):

    g.search.modules keyword=clip,overlay -a -c

    v.clip
        keywords: vector,clip,area
        description: Extracts features of input map which overlay features
                     of clip map.

    v.overlay
        keywords: vector,geometry,spatial
                  query,clip,difference,intersection,union
        description: Overlays two vector maps offering clip, intersection,
                     difference, symmetrical difference, union operators.

Search in manual pages as well:

    g.search.modules -m keyword=kapri

    db.execute
        keywords: database,attribute table,SQL
        description: Executes any SQL statement. For SELECT statements use
                     'db.select'.

    db.select
        keywords: database,attribute table,SQL
        description: Selects data from attribute table. Performs SQL query
                     statement(s).
